moving forward with “Forged in Moscow” by Taylor Shaw, in Colorway #1. Recommended 
updates to the design include removing the side-by-side, cement truck, and woodchipper, as well 
as incorporating more figures and park-related subject matter in their place. Following City

7. Ordinance Amending Moscow City Code Title 4, Chapters 1, 3, 4, and 6 Regarding Single-
Family Dwellings, Two-Family Dwellings, and Bed and Breakfast Inns (ACTION ITEM) - 
Mike Ray 
  
  
The City of Moscow Community Development Department over the past few years has observed 
the evolution of building plans being submitted for two-family dwellings which increasingly 
have multi-family elements. 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. 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. The Planning and Zoning Commission has identified the need to 
mitigate the immediate impact upon the surrounding neighborhoods by preparing an ordinance to 
amend certain definitions, ensure there is adequate open space, and require sufficient off-street 
parking. Additionally, 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. The Planning 
and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed ordinance on May 13, 
2026, and unanimously recommended approval to City Council. The public hearing before City 
Council has been scheduled for July 6, 2026. 
PROPOSED ACTIONS: Recommend forwarding the proposed ordinance for public hearing at 
the Council's upcoming July 6, 2026, meeting; or provide staff further direction.

REGULAR AGENDA  
  1. Approval of Administrative Committee April 27, 2026 Minutes (ACTION ITEM) - Laurie M. 
Hopkins 
 
The minutes were approved as presented. 
 
 
  2. Approval of FBI Gem State Crimes Against Children Task Force Memorandum of 
Understanding  and Reimbursement Agreement (ACTION ITEM) -  Anthony Dahlinger 
    The Moscow Police Department (MPD) has partnered with the Idaho Crimes Against Children 
(ICAC) Task Force with the Idaho Attorney General's Office for many years. Unfortunately, that 
partnership has ended as of May 1, 2026. MPD remains committed to protecting children in our 
community as well as assisting other law enforcement partners to protect the children of the region. 
It is with this commitment that MPD is seeking City Council approval to join the newly formed FBI 
Gem State Crimes Against Children (GSCAC) task force. 
 
PROPOSED ACTIONS: Recommend approval of FBI Gem State Crimes Against Children Task 
Force Memorandum of Understanding and Reimbursement Agreement, or provide staff further 
direction.  
 
Dahlinger introduced the item as written above. Moscow has a history of working cooperatively with 
them. This will just make it a formal partnership with the ability to receive reimbursement of overtime. 
A vehicle is provided as well. The Committee recommended approval and that it be placed on the 
Council regular agenda. 
 
 
  3. Approval of Agreement for Victim Assistance with Alternatives to Violence of the Palouse 
(ACTION ITEM) - Anthony Dahlinger 
    The Moscow Police Department (MPD) has utilized the victim assistance services provided by the 
Alternatives to Violence of the Palouse (ATVP) during incidents involving victims of sexual assault 
and domestic violence for many years. Since 2014, MPD has budgeted funds which were provided 
to ATVP for their services. With the passage of Resolution 2024-25, which altered the City's 
Procurement and Purchasing Policy, the need for a written agreement between the City of Moscow 
and ATVP for their victim assistance services arose. The Moscow Police Department is asking City 
Council to approve the agreement for services with ATVP.

PROPOSED ACTIONS: Recommend approval of agreement for Victim Assistance with 
Alternatives to Violence of the Palouse, or provide staff with further direction.  
 
Dahlinger introduced the item as written above. When dispatched for violent crimes, officers can call 
them and they will send advocates to talk to victims regarding housing options and assistance. There 
The support is a fixed amount approved through the annual budget. Having no questions and showing 
support, the Committee recommended approval and that it be placed on the Council consent agenda. 
 
 
  4. Asphalt Rubber Chip Seal 2026 - Bid Results (ACTION ITEM) - Bob Buvel 
    This project's scope is to apply an Asphalt Rubber Chip Seal to approximately 29,472 square yards 
of roadways along Blaine Street from Third to Troy Road and Garfield Street from "F" Street to First 
Street. This project is part of our pavement preservation program. The City published an 
advertisement for bids on April 18, 2026 and April 25, 2026. The Engineer's Estimate for construction 
was $412,608.00. Bids were opened on May 5, 2026, at which one (1) bid was received. The bid was 
$537,864.00 by Doolittle Construction, LLC.  A bid tabulation is included in the packet. 
 
PROPOSED ACTIONS: Recommend rejection of the bid from Doolittle Construction, LLC or 
provide staff with further direction.  
 
Buvel introduced the item and provided the details of an asphalt rubber chip seal which involves a lot 
of specialized chemicals. While Doolittle Construction is experienced with the project, the bid was way 
past the budgeted amount. The engineer’s estimate was based on the last asphalt rubber chip seal 
including a 3% increase. Staff reached out to Doolittle Construction who explained the asphalt rubber 
chip seals are not done in the Pacific Northwest anymore and the equipment would have to be shipped 
up from New Mexico. While an asphalt rubber chip seal does use recycled products, it still has petrol 
and oil related products which are currently at a high cost. Contractors are moving away from this type 
of project due to preparation of the road, using a specialized product and being more difficult than other 
chip seals, perhaps due to weather in the PNW. Staff will be looking into what other municipalities are 
moving to. The Committee recommended approval and that it be placed on the Council consent agenda. 
 
 
  5. KN 23902 & 23903; N&S Mountain View Pedestrian Improvements - Professional Services 
Agreement for Construction Engineering and Inspection (ACTION ITEM) - Scott Bontrager / 
Luke Hajda 
    The Idaho Transportation Department (lTD), through the Local Highway Technical Assistance 
Council (LHTAC), funded a federal-aid project for FY2026 to improve two segments of non-
motorized transportation gaps on Mountain View Road. These improvements include completing 
sidewalk and bike lanes from Slonaker Drive to F Street and Joseph Street to Paradise Creek. The 
construction contract for the project was awarded by Moscow City Council in April to LaRiviere Inc., 
in the amount of $1,025,088.98. A request for information (RFI) was issued by LHTAC for 
construction engineering and inspection on February 23rd, 2026, and two qualified engineering firms 
responded by the March 6th deadline. A three-person panel (one LHTAC engineer and two City Staff) 
independently rated the statement of qualifications, and a consensus was reached on the selection of 
HMH Engineering, LLC. The professional services agreement between the City of Moscow and 
HMH Engineering was negotiated on Monday, April 6th, 2026, in the amount of $169,812.00. This 
amount equates to 16.6% of the construction contract amount, which both the LHTAC and City Staff 
deem reasonable for contract administration and construction inspection on a federal-aid project. The 
agreement has been reviewed and approved by the City Legal Department. 
 
PROPOSED ACTIONS: Recommend approval of the Professional Services Agreement with HMH 
Engineering LLC.; or provide staff further direction.  
 
Hajda introduced the item as written above. He went through the project history and specifics of the 
improvements. The City match is $12,464 which is 7.34% of the contact amount. Both lanes near the

pool will be open during construction the majority of the time. When traffic needs to be restricted, the 
entrance on F Street to the west of the Hamilton Indoor Recreation Center can be used. The Committee 
recommended approval and that it be placed on the Council consent agenda. 
 
 
  6. Proposed Ordinance to Amend the Entertainment District Open Container Exemption to Allow 
Liquor (ACTION ITEM) - Bill Belknap 
    The Mayor and City Council recently received a letter from the Moscow Chamber of Commerce & 
Visitor Center and the Downtown Business Alliance requesting the City Council to consider the 
allowance of liquor to be served during permitted events held within the downtown Entertainment 
District. Ordinance 2021-11, passed on August 16, 2021, allows the City Council to suspend the 
prohibition of open containers of alcohol during permitted events within the designated Entertainment 
District by resolution. Ordinance 2021-11 specifically limits this exemption to the service of beer and 
wine. This was reviewed by the Administrative Committee on April 27, 2026, and the City Council 
on May 4, 2026, at which time staff was directed to prepare an ordinance to allow liquor at 
Entertainment District events. The proposed Ordinance amending Title 10, Chapter 1 of Moscow 
City Code is now before the Council for consideration. 
  
PROPOSED ACTIONS: Recommend approval of the proposed ordinance, or provide staff further 
direction.  
 
Belknap introduced the item as written above. The Committee discussed this proposal previously and 
had no questions. The Committee recommended approval of the ordinance and that it be placed on the 
Council regular agenda.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE 
PUBLIC MEETING: Lot Division at 924 Public Avenue (ACTION ITEM) - Lucy Falcy 
 
RESPONSIBLE STAFF 
Lucy Falcy, Planner 
 
 
ADDITIONAL PRESENTER(S) 
 
 
 
 
 
DESCRIPTION  
The applicants, Renee and Emmett Love and Isaak and Aven Julye, are requesting a lot division to create 
two lots of approximately 1.62 and 2.81 acres in size as well as an unbuildable tract of approximately 
0.59 acres in size from their existing five acre parcel located at 924 Public Avenue. An existing single-
family dwelling, 924 Public Avenue, will remain on the newly created southern lot and will be 
approximately 146 feet from its newly created northern lot line. The applicants intend to donate the 
unbuildable tract to Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute to use as a pedestrian path. This tract 
gains access off of a pedestrian access easement along the Cherry Blossom Lane frontage on the eastern 
boundary of the proposed northern lot. The pedestrian tract comprises a thirty-five (35) foot wide strip 
along the eastern and northern boundary of proposed northern lot until it connects with property owned 
by Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute at the site’s northwest corner. 
 
The subject property is located in the Single-Family Residential (R-1) Zoning District. Within the R-1 
zone, lots are required to be a minimum of 9,600 square feet in size, have a minimum lot width of eighty 
(80) feet, and have forty (40) feet of public street frontage. Both proposed lots meet the minimum lot area 
and width requirements of the R-1 Zone and the existing single-family dwelling will meet all setback 
requirements. The proposed northern lot will have fifty (50) feet of right-of-way frontage along Cherry 
Blossom Lane and the southern lot will maintain its historic frontage along Public Avenue.  
 
This lot division does not trigger parkland dedication requirements. Property owners within 600 feet of 
the subject property have been notified of the proposed division and a sign was posted on the subject 
property seven (7) days prior to the public meeting date.  
 
REVIEWED BY 
 
  
PROPOSED ACTIONS 
PROPOSED ACTIONS: Recommend approval of the lot division request with no conditions; or 
recommend approval of the lot division request with conditions; or recommend denial of the lot division 
request; or provide staff further direction. 
 
STAFF RECOMMENDATION 
Recommend approval of the lot division request with no conditions.

May 1st, 2026

To Mayor Lewis and Members of the Moscow City Council,

Please accept this as written notice of our intent to divide our property on the corner of Public Avenue and Peach Tree Drive in Moscow, Idaho (survey and legal description attached). We intend to divide the property into three parcels: 1) Parcel 1, containing 2.81 acres (to be owned by Renee and Emmett Love), 2) Tract A, containing .059 acres (to be owned by the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute), and 3) Parcel 2, containing 1.62 acres (to be owned by Isaak and Aven Julye). Since PCEI provides our community with nature trails, we would like to donate a 35'-wide public access pathway on the north and east borders of Parcel 1 to PCEI to provide another public entry point to the walking paths. This is designated as Tract A, and is a non-buildable tract. This proposed lot division does not trigger parkland dedication requirements per Moscow City Code: Title 5, Chapter 1, Section 1-5 F.

During the development of Peach Tree Drive, access to the northern part of the property was created via Cherry Blossom Lane. Cherry Blossom Lane would provide access to the northern part of the property (Parcel 1 and Tract A), and the existing driveway on Public Avenue will continue to provide access to the southern portion of the property (Parcel 2). Each of the property owners are providing their signatures below to show approval of this request. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Renee Love

Re: 
Indefinite Trailer Permit at 1824 E. D Street 
 
 
Under Section 6-1-4 of Moscow City Code, persons are allowed to make an application to the 
Zoning Administrator in order to reside in a temporary trailer (RV) for a period not to exceed 
sixty (60) days. Such permits are not renewable and no second permit may be issued during any 
one calendar year.  
 
However, under MCC Section 6-1-6, City Council may grant on special application in writing, a 
permit for an indefinite period if unusual hardship is shown by the issuance of an ordinary 
permit.  The permit for an indefinite period shall only be issued upon showing that the trailer is 
used to house an aged, infirm, or ill member of the immediate family of the owner of the parcel 
of land upon which said trailer is situated and upon which the owner of said parcel of land 
himself resides; and such permit shall only remain in existence until the termination of the 
condition which required the application for a special permit due to hardship.  It is also 
provided that in such an event the owner of the ground upon which the trailer is situated shall 
not charge any rent for the space occupied by the trailer.  The owner shall only be permitted to 
keep the trailer on the grounds during the time that the trailer is occupied by the aged, infirm, 
or ill member of the immediate family of the owner of the land.  
 
A request has been made to the Planning Division for an indefinite trailer permit at 1824 E. D 
Street in the City of Moscow.  The applicant, Ryan Urie, is requesting long term placement of a 
33 foot travel trailer to be occupied by the applicant’s mother and father, aged 79 and 84. The 
applicant has submitted a letter, photos, and a site plan of the subject property for the 
Council’s review.

On June 1, 2026, the applicants received a temporary RV permit that is valid until August 1, 
2026. The RV is currently sitting on a concrete pad and concrete patio pavers. Water and 
electrical hookups are available adjacent to the trailer. Mr. Urie’s parents are currently using 
the sanitary facilities within the main house.  Per MCC 6-1-7, the RV must be hooked into the 
sanitary sewer facilities if located on the site long-term. As the property is within a Special 
Flood Hazard Area, the trailer will also need to meet the flood protection measures outlined in 
MCC 4-5-5-B-4. The property is zoned Single-Family Residential - Moderate Density (R-2) and is 
nearly 12,500 square feet in area.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE 
City Shop Mural Artist Selection (ACTION ITEM) - Megan Cherry 
 
RESPONSIBLE STAFF 
Megan Cherry, Arts Program Manager 
 
 
ADDITIONAL PRESENTER(S) 
 
 
 
 
 
DESCRIPTION  
Following Council’s approval of the muralist RFQ for the City Shop, artist submissions were accepted 
from January 5 – March 2, 2026. A total of 21 artists submitted qualifications for consideration. A 
Selection Panel made up of artists, neighborhood residents, City staff, and Moscow Arts Commission 
(MAC) members reviewed the submissions and recommended four finalists to create site-specific 
designs. The MAC voted to recommend those finalists during their regular meeting on Tuesday, April 
14th. The finalists presented designs, which were reviewed by the Selection Panel on June 3, 2026. Those 
designs are available to view here: https://moscowarts.submittable.com/gallery/20796d7e-9f79-4a1f-
b0f1-0aa1db5f44d7. A public input period was open from May 26 – 29, 2026. A total of 43 people 
responded, with results in the packet. The Panel recommended that the MAC and City Council select 
either the design by Sasha Primo or the one by Taylor Shaw, each with slight adjustments to the design. 
The MAC discussed the designs during their regular meeting on June 9 and recommended moving 
forward with “Forged in Moscow” by Taylor Shaw, in Colorway #1 as presented by the artist. 
Recommended updates to the design include removing the side-by-side, cement truck, and woodchipper, 
incorporating more figures and park-related subject matter in their place. Following City Council 
approval, Arts and City Shop staff will work with the artist to complete design edits and will present the 
final design to the Mayor and City Administration for approval.  
 
REVIEWED BY 
Selection Panel, Moscow Arts Commission, City Attorney

5/26/2026 14:30 This is a really vibrant, fun, and colorful piece! I prefer Colorway 2.
This appears to be a very active piece that seems like it would 
integrate cleanly into the surrounding landscape. I particularly like 
the way people are at the center of this design and engaged in so 
many different activities that the City Shop is responsible for 
supporting.
I like the way this piece prominently brings elements of nature into 
an otherwise industrial-feeling space. I think the artist succeeded 
in creating a design that feels calm, open, and readable at a 
distance while connecting city work to the broader landscape.
Visually, this piece is very pleasing and I like the simple, flowing 
design. Unfortunately, I think this submission misses the mark; I 
struggle to see how this design connects to City Shop equipment 
and people.
17724
5/26/2026 15:09
Very colorful and fun to look at (hopefully not too distracting to 
drivers). This is my choice #2.
These are really nice! I like them - would be my first choice.
17734
5/26/2026 15:59
I enjoy the bold color choice and the solid, thoughtful composition. 
This is my favorite out of these submissions.
Personally, the submission would be my second choice. The 
composition looks well thought through. 
I like how this one is locally relevant, but I don't love the color 
choices and wish they were more bold and precise.
I like the flow of this one, but I wish it was a little more interesting. It 
is kind of generic too, and I feel it would fit a Palouse themed 
prompt more than it does city shop prompt.
17739
5/26/2026 17:40
They all have the stench of public funds set on fire. Don't be upping 
our tax burden by 3% a year and wasting it on frippery such as this.
17740
5/26/2026 18:30
It is so incredibly embarrasing for Ai to have made it this far in the 
selection process. It will be extremely dissapointing if this is the 
image chosen.
This design has nice lines, but I do not like the color palette for a 
mural.
17742
5/26/2026 20:14
Very cool design. Really connects the hard working people with the 
yard and community as a whole. 
17746
5/26/2026 22:03
We don't need Communist based art that looks AI generated. Don't 
like it 
We don't need Communist based art that looks AI generated. I 
don't like this. 
This looks like a simple Photoshop trace filter. There is no design. 
It's bland and ugly. 
I like this a lot. It is simple but sophisticated. It actually looks like 
art and not AI generated garbage 
17750
5/27/2026 5:22 Too loud and obnoxious
Too busy
17754
5/27/2026 6:32
This is beautiful! I love the soft colors and hard lines it seems very 
natural and I would love to see it in person.
17756
5/27/2026 7:59
I like this the best, it has a flowing quality and understated beauty. 
More like Moscow is to me. And since I live close to the mural, this 
would be perfect. 
17757
5/27/2026 8:11
This is very cluttered and hard to figure out what it is. I do not like 
this.
So cluttered. Bad design to look at from afar.
I love this artwork. The thought out landscape concept of it all is so 
lovely.
Very boring, far too simple.
17760
5/27/2026 8:26 Colorway 1 is the best option
This is bad AI slop and will not translate well to a mural.
The only part of this mural that will read well from a distance is the 
snowplow. It also has too much white and will reflect light into cars 
passing by and nearby properties. 
This is just lazy and should not be an option
17766
5/27/2026 9:01 Sure looks to me like this is generated in AI.
Also looks and sounds like AI.
This also looks like AI.
This may be original work, but I can generate something pretty 
close to this in about 5 minutes with Chad GPT.
17772
5/27/2026 10:31
This one is my Favorite!
17775
5/27/2026 11:46
I am not a fan of this color pallette or the geometric design of this 
piece. It is too harsh for the size and would scream at you on a large 
scale.
I really appreciate the jewel tones of this design and how he's made 
the people doing the work prominent, as well as providing different 
types of workers, electricians, construction etc.. I also love the park 
and rolling hills in the background. He has found a way to honor the 
people and bring in the natural beauty of the palouse.
I really appreciate the winter scene here and the focus on the plow 
that is so overlooked. I do not like the large signature. It takes away 
from who we are trying to honor.
17777
5/27/2026 11:51
Colorway 2 is too bright/garish. Colorway 1 is fun, but it doesn't 
really represent Moscow.
This would be my pick. It's complex, it's not garish, it's just fun to 
keep looking at.
Good job representing elements of Moscow, but the overall design 
seems too simplistic, and the colors (while they give a great nod to 
UI branding) come across as pretty drab.
Nope nope nope. This just looks like an accident.
17778
5/27/2026 11:56
This is deeply unattractive and just plain ugly.
17786
5/27/2026 12:16
Kinda fun, but also kinda generic. Feels more like a kid bedroom 
decor. 
Enjoyable art style, and might meet the prompt best, but doesn't 
feel specific to Moscow. 
This one feels the most uniquely Moscow. And seems like the best 
reflection of the city. 
Boring. 
17788
5/27/2026 12:20
I love how this one highlights the PEOPLE that work to make the city 
what it is! 
17792
5/27/2026 12:31 I prefer this one.

This one is my favorite! Especially in Colorway 1. Dramatic and fun. 
There's enough complexity that it wouldn't get boring to look at. 
17799
5/27/2026 12:57
I find road construction inconvenient and ugly, most citizens want 
less traffic orange, not more. 
This one's a bit Soviet Propoganda-esque. Not my favorite.
I like the aesthetic of this one - the beautiful lines and color ways.
This one is also visually pleasing and high-concept. 
17802
5/27/2026 13:22
I would choose Sasha Primo's Image A for this space. I like how it is 
surrounded by nature, and how the blue on the left flows into the 
purple and red greenery on the right. I think the snowplow is a really 
fun addition, but I like that it's not the main focal piece of the 
artwork here. It is just an amazing part of the overall landscape in 
this scene, telling our ever evolving story of the Moscow Palouse. 
17804
5/27/2026 13:44
I love this one, especially the first colorway. This is everything good 
about construction- hard workers kids pretend to be! Cool 
equipment kids beg for for Christmas! Multiple types of equipment! 
This is the kind of mural id stop and look at with my kids. It's also 
just wonderfully aesthetically pleasing. 
This is way too dark and gritty. This is the kind of construction site 
you keep your head down as you walk past because of the cat calls. 
This is neverending toil and drudgery. I dont hate it, quite, but i 
might take an alternate route so i dont have to look at it. 
This one's nice. The snow plow weirds me out for some reason-love 
that it's featured, but kinda jarring. 
Im sorry but i hate this for the space. I understand it in an artistic 
way but what does it have to do with the prompt?? I also thought it 
was wood grain at first. Boring, boring, boring. I wouldnt know it 
was an actual commissioned mural unless someone told me. 
17819
5/27/2026 16:49
This one is a no. It lacks talent
17821
5/27/2026 17:21
This is a nice tribute to the workers, but it will make the 
neighborhood look too industrial.  
Interesting, but again, this makes the neighborhood look too 
industrial.  
Yes!  This is it.  I like the combination of pathways, a nod to the city 
workers, but mostly about the beautiful place we live in.  
I don't think it has enough color. 
17823
5/27/2026 17:29 Luke, age 10, thinks this one is the most noticeable.  
Grace, age 12, likes this one because it looks like Moscow.  
This one is not as noticeable and not as exciting as the others. 
17837
5/27/2026 22:18 Meh
Best
Ok
No
17840
5/27/2026 22:59
I think this work best embodies the theme of city workers and their 
never ending role in the community. 
This one would be my second choice - it's a really beautiful piece 
but I don't feel it fully encompasses the theme
This would be my third choice. I love that it's utilitarian and works 
with the architecture but also embodies the Palouse 
17843
5/27/2026 23:25
The colors are cool but it's not Moscow/Palouse specific. It looks 
like Microsoft clipart sadly, please no.
Better than the first one.
The best one
Almost awesome. Looks kinda like the Sahara though. 
17844
5/27/2026 23:29
This one is too garish.  The colors are headache-inducing.  It 
doesn't tie uniquely to this area.  It looks like it could belong in New 
York City intead of Moscow.  Definitely my least favorite choice.
This one does a nice job of conveying the hard work of laborers but 
is too busy. There's too much going on and nothing to draw the eye 
to a focal point.
This is the absolute best choice. It's beautiful and honors the hard 
work of snow plow drivers, gives a nice nod to the university, and 
highlights the natural beauty and agricultural heritage of the area. 
Image A combines all the elements really well.
I get what the artist is trying to do but it's too abstract. It just ends 
up looking like scribbles.
17853
5/28/2026 7:30
Sasha Primo is my favorite, I probably would have liked Joshua 
Martel's if it was an actual picture of the Palouse. Simple is better 
with these murals.
17854
5/28/2026 7:38
While the colors are fun, the art has strong Soviet era references. 
We might be Moscow, but not that Moscow. 
Too busy to tell what's happening unless up close. 
This mural is a pleasant blend of local flora and Moscow 
landmarks. It isn't so busy as to be obnoxious to neighbors but still 
has interesting elements and colors. A nice choice. 
Also simple and nice. 
17855
5/28/2026 7:38
This is it! Wonderful! Will be able to see through fence and vehicles 
parked.  
Not bright enough. Does not talk to kids. 
Too bland. 
Not relative to the work. 
17867
5/28/2026 14:45
Excellent. This would look great. Taylor captures the essence of the 
work and celebrates the workers. I like his statement about the art 
showing the coordinated system that keeps our city functioning 
with the awe and wonder of a young person is spot on. And it the 
execution of that idea is perfect.  The composition and bright style 
is very pleasing. This and Proposal 2 are a win-win. They would look 
equally good gracing our roadside.
Another excellent offering. Like Taylor, Matt captures the essence 
of the team-work that goes into keep your city functional. I'm very 
fond of the WPA influence and he executes the style with great skill 
and understanding. So, as stated in my other comment, Proposal's 
1 & 2 are a win-win for our city.
Too computer/coloring book style for me. We need more real art. 
Please don't choose this one. 
No. This is an overdone visual meme for the Palouse. Not a good 
execution of it, either. Please don't do this one.

This is my favorite of the proposals, I like that it draws from colors 
naturally occurring around the area but it's giving AI 
Too Abstract. 
17873
5/28/2026 20:22
This is my second choice. It's eye catching and captures the work 
the crews do. I like the geometric shapes, color, mix of images. It's 
just a too little busy.
This is my first choice. I like the perspectives presented in the 
scene; near and far. I think it nicely captures the work the crew 
does, while at the same time paints a picture of our community.
17875

17877
5/28/2026 22:03
I love the graphics and bright colors on this piece! The density of 
images would probably deter graffiti overlay. The scale of images is 
such that pedestrians on the adjacent sidewalk will probably be 
able to enjoy them. My main concerns are that the design focuses 
exclusively on big pieces of road and construction equipment (not 
the array of projects the City Shop is involved with), and  that it is at 
at an intersection that requires drivers' absolute attention, and 
such a cluttered mural might be too distracting for safety. For that 
reason, this Proposal 1 is not my first choice.
I really like the color palette of this design! The heroic images 
harken to the CCC artwork and the New Deal of the 1930s. They are 
densely enough packed that commuters will probably see the 
design as a pleasantly artful whole (rather than a busy distraction), 
while cyclists, pedestrians, wheelchair users, neighbors, and 
others with time to admire its detail will appreciate it as an 
assemblage of many stories about the City Shop projects and 
personnel. It's hard to see at this scale, but if the artist hasn't done 
so, one suggestion is to show a more diverse and representative 
workforce in this mural. 
This is a clean, simple design. Its expanses of white could look like 
an unfinished project or even blank canvases for graffiti art to some 
viewers. My favorite parts are the serviceberry and red osier 
dogwood that flank the cityscape. They help anchor the art to the 
trees in the foreground and to the nearby landscape. My main 
criticism is that Proposal 3 suggests that the only thing that comes 
out of the City Shop is a plow truck. Where's the Berminator (etc., 
etc.)? 
A concrete wall calls for something more colorful and less organic 
than depicted in Proposal 4. The rolling hills of the Palouse are an 
often-used image, representing the the local landscape, but not the 
"hive of activity" around the City Shop or the built environment and 
social connections.
17882
5/29/2026 10:08
I like this one the best by far out of all of them. The colors are really 
cool. All of the tools people are holding are actual tools. The 
geometric stuff is fun and I like it
I don't like this one, the tools multiple people are holding don't 
make sense. Theres a water line with valves in configurations that 
don't exist. The street sign reads Main and Polk but those two 
streets don't intersect. Not sure if that's supposed to be a pipe 
wrench that guy in the front is holding? It feels like the artist doesn't 
know tools and is drawing stuff that looks kinda like a tool. Since so 
many of the tools are fake/not real/ or not being used in any way 
that makes sense it feels a little ai generated 
I like the plants and the seasonal aspect of this one. The plow truck 
is cool. Don't like the is centers the u of I water tower. Id put this 
one in second place
I don't like this one, it's ugly and I don't think it fits the prompt
17885
5/29/2026 11:20
This is the best one for a mural 
17889
5/29/2026 15:46 This looks like lazy AI art slop. It doesn't look like it's worth $10,000. This looks like lazy AI art slop. It doesn't look like it's worth $10,000.
This isn't particularly good. I get the impression a human took some 
local photos and pasted them together before making some 
outlines and splashes of color. It doesn't look like AI art at least, but 
it doesn't feel like it's worth $10,000 either.
This isn't particularly good. It doesn't feel like it's connected to the 
city shop at all, nor does it celebrate the people, and it doesn't feel 
worth $10,000, given the lack of time that will need to be put into 
this piece.
17890
5/29/2026 16:52
This looks suspiciously like AI art. It also feels weirdly 
propagandistic.
This too looks like a mash up of slightly modified AI generated 
imagery.
At least this has something to do with the area and the shop.
This is frankly disappointing. It's ugly. It's completely 
unsympathetic with the site, and it has nothing to do with the city 
shop. Also the artist statement....

“Forged in Moscow” by Taylor Shaw   |   Moscow City Shop 
 
Artist Statement 
This mural celebrates the often unseen workforce that keeps Moscow running day in and day out. 
From maintaining roads and utilities to operating the heavy equipment that shapes and supports 
the city’s infrastructure. These workers form the backbone of the community. Quietly ensuring 
that everything functions as it should.  
 
The design highlights both the individuals and the machinery that define this labor: graders, 
trucks, pipes, and tools are elevated into bold, graphic forms that carry a sense of rhythm, 
movement, and purpose. By translating these elements into a vibrant, geometric visual language, 
the mural reframes everyday labor as something monumental.  
 
This project also connects to me on a personal level. My brother works as a civil engineer in Idaho 
and through him I’ve gained a deeper appreciation for the systems and people that make a city 
function. At the same time, my nephews are endlessly fascinated by large equipment. This mural 
becomes a bridge between those perspectives: honoring the technical expertise behind the work 
while also capturing the sense of wonder it inspires in younger generations. It’s an opportunity to 
show kids that these roles aren’t just “big cool machines,” but essential, meaningful careers that 
shape and support their communities.  
 
At its core, this piece is about visibility. It brings forward the people and systems that are essential 
yet often overlooked, offering a moment of acknowledgment and gratitude. The composition 
reflects interconnectedness. How each role, each task, and each piece of equipment contributes 
to the larger whole of the city.  
 
Through this mural, I aim to honor the dignity of work, the strength of community infrastructure, 
and the individuals whose efforts literally build and sustain Moscow. 
 
Artist Biography 
My practice centers on creating vibrant, place-based murals that celebrate local landscapes, 
histories, and the people who make a community function. The vision for this project, honoring 
the workers, equipment, and infrastructure that support daily life in Moscow, aligns closely with 
the themes I explore in my public art. 
 
Although I am based in the South, I have developed a strong personal connection to Idaho 
over the past few years. My brother and his family currently live in the state, and through 
visits I have fallen in love with the natural imagery, the rolling landscapes, and, most 
Page 38

## Page 39

importantly, the people of Idaho. The sense of openness, hard work, and community pride 
I’ve encountered there has made a lasting impression on me, and I would be honored to 
reflect those qualities in a mural for Moscow. 
 
Community is central to my practice. My murals are designed to reflect the character of a 
place and the people who call it home. I often incorporate local wildlife, landscapes, tools, 
architecture, and cultural symbols into geometric, color-rich compositions that feel both 
contemporary and rooted in tradition. In addition to painting murals across the country, I 
have taught public art and mural classes at universities, craft schools, and community 
programs, and I regularly incorporate outreach, workshops, and artist talks into my 
projects. I believe murals are most successful when they are created in dialogue with the 
people who will see them every day.

Mural at City Shop 
Moscow, ID 
Project Description 
The City of Moscow and the Moscow Arts Commission (“MAC”) invite artists and artist teams to submit 
qualifications for a mural to be installed at the Moscow City Shop facility. The mural will be painted on a 
new concrete wall on the east side of the facility, at the intersection of Polk St. and Public Ave.  
The Moscow City Shop is located on a major throughfare that connects residential neighborhoods and 
parks with the community’s downtown core. This facility, a busy hive of activity, houses the equipment and 
staff groups that tend to Moscow’s public infrastructure. While the rolling hills of the Palouse are certainly a 
unique and celebrated backdrop of the community, the built environment of Moscow’s streets, parks, and 
pathways are the landscape that shapes physical and social connections for its citizens. The mural at the 
City Shop will honor the equipment and people that create a safe, beautiful environment for Moscow 
residents.   
Budget 
The artist honorarium for the mural installation is not to exceed $10,000. Included in this budget are the 
artist’s fee, insurance, travel, fabrication, engineering, materials, installation, documentation, and all other 
costs accrued by the artist specific to this project. The artist honorarium does not include costs associated 
with construction of the wall, surface preparation, priming, and the application of an anti-graffiti coating 
after the mural installation. These processes will be completed and paid by the City of Moscow. 
Eligibility 
Artists eighteen (18) years-of-age and older from the United States are eligible for this project. Preference 
may be given to artists who live in Latah County, Nez Perce County, or those who are Nez Perce or Coeur 
d’Alene tribal members and/or have a significant Idaho economic presence, with secondary preference 
given to those artists who live in Asotin County or Whitman County. Artists are eligible regardless of race, 
color, religion, national origin, gender, marital or familial status, physical or mental disability, sexual 
orientation, and gender expression or identity. Artist teams are eligible to apply, including teams of artists 
from multiple disciplines. Selection panelists and their immediate family members are not eligible for 
participation. No artist sitting on a Selection Panel may submit a proposal for the project for which the 
Selection Panel was formed.  
Artwork Design Parameters 
The mural will be painted on a 6’h x 65’w concrete wall, which will be constructed by the City in 2026. 
The mural is anticipated to last between 5-8 years, so paint materials used to complete this project must be 
professional, exterior-grade, water-based coatings designed for exposure to year-round exterior conditions. 
This site cannot accommodate murals on panels, kinetic or sculptural works, or any artwork that requires 
power or water. This mural site is near a busy intersection; as such, the site is not compatible with highly-
reflective materials.

About Moscow, ID 
Moscow is settled on the rolling hills of the Palouse, a rich landscape long inhabited by the Nimiipuu (Nez 
Perce), Palus (Palouse), and Schitsu’umsh (Coeur d’ Alene) tribes indigenous to the region. The City of 
Moscow was incorporated on July 12, 1887, and its modern history is rooted in agriculture; the 
surrounding region produces top-quality wheat and pulses. The presence of farming in the community goes 
far beyond commerce, however, as grain silos and other architectural features announce agricultural 
endeavor as part of the community’s aesthetic identity.  
Moscow is home to the University of Idaho, a land grant institution established in 1889. School spirit 
influences the atmosphere of the city, imbuing it with the balance of gravitas and celebration that 
characterizes educational experience. University arts programs like the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival and 
the Prichard Art Gallery have greatly contributed to Moscow’s identity as a cultural center. The community 
is rich not only in visual and performing arts events, but also in recreational and culinary opportunities. 
Residents and visitors alike enjoy the Palouse landscape at recreational features like Moscow Mountain and 
the Bill Chipman Palouse Trail, followed by tastes of the region at area restaurants, wineries, breweries and 
the Moscow Farmers Market.  
City of Moscow Public Art 
Public art is at the heart of Moscow’s creative culture, and with a collection including works by local and 
regional artists, its public spaces reflect the Inland Northwest’s tradition of artistic excellence. The City of 
Moscow Arts Department and the Moscow Arts Commission (MAC) share a mission to enrich the 
community by celebrating and cultivating the expressions of all forms of art and culture. The MAC has 
fostered artistic excellence and public access to the arts in the city since its founding on October 2, 1978. 
Programming includes curation of exhibition space at the Third Street Gallery inside City Hall, a biennial 
Mayor’s Arts Awards, Moscow Poet Laureate programming, and a comprehensive public art program.  
The City of Moscow’s acquisition of public art began in the 1980s and is supported by a 1%-for-the-Arts 
fund established in 2004. A Public Art Master Plan, adopted in 2015, guides the incorporation of new 
works into the City’s landscape. Stewardship of the collection is a collaborative effort, with artistic advice 
from the MAC, direction from City Council, and operational details managed by Arts Department staff. The 
Public Art program aims to reflect the character of Moscow by fostering relationships between individuals 
and institutions in the community. Whether part of the University, business community, or the agricultural 
tradition, the City’s creative partners generate aesthetic excellence, civic identity, and economic strength by 
supporting the arts. 
The Public Art collection is currently comprised of more than 220 temporary and permanent features. 
Temporary artworks include vinyl-wrapped utility boxes and bus shelters as well as a sculpture garden 
featuring artworks on loan to the City. Artworks in the permanent collection range from mosaic murals and 
sculptures-in-the-round to framed pieces in the Portable Collection. Each new piece in the permanent 
collection joins others by celebrated regional artists including Harold Balazs, David Govedare, Miles 
Pepper, Robert Horner, Melissa Cole, J. Casey Doyle, Jay Rasgorshek, and artist team Jennifer Corio and 
Dave Frei.  
Moscow is a community rich with diversity of thought, inhabited by minds open to possibility and creative 
interpretation. As such, the Public Art program not only celebrates the artist as a professional and valued 
business partner, but also welcomes a broad range of appearances, media, and art-making processes into 
its collection.

DESCRIPTION  
Following Council’s approval of the sculpture RFQ for the Moscow Police Department on February 2, 
2026, artist submissions were accepted from February 6 – March 27, 2026. A total of six artists submitted 
qualifications for consideration. A Selection Panel made up of artists, current and retired MPD officers, 
City staff, and Moscow Arts Commission (MAC) members reviewed the submissions and recommended 
two finalists to create site-specific designs. The MAC voted to recommend those finalists during their 
regular meeting on Tuesday, April 14th. The finalists presented designs, which were reviewed by the 
Selection Panel on June 2, 2026. Those designs are available to view here: 
https://moscowarts.submittable.com/gallery/cf3db467-c437-4510-8be8-e9304e840d04 A public input 
period was open from May 26 – 29, 2026. A total of 89 people responded, with results in the packet. The 
Panel recommended that the MAC and City Council select “Eternal Watch” by Ken McCall with slight 
adjustments to the design. The MAC discussed the designs during their regular meeting on June 9 and 
recommended moving forward with McCall’s design. Recommended updates to the design include 
adjusting the scale and position of the wings. Following City Council approval, MPD, Arts and Facilities 
staff will work with the artist to complete design edits and will present the final design to the Mayor and 
City Administration for approval.

I like the notion of the basalt columns as a regional element that both connects the piece to place and 
purpose. The inlaid glass seems like it would provide an attractive colorful element to the piece. The way the 
spire rises from the grouping of basalt columns against the backdrop of the police station mirrors the City of 
Moscow emblem but also appears prominently rigid, in contrast.
I like the way this piece seems like it would integrate smoothly into the space through the use of similar 
material colors. The curved lines and officer's silhouette introduce humanizing elements to a piece 
constructed out of metals. I love the collaborative community-centered element of inviting stakeholders to 
choose the words that are displayed on the badge portion of the structure. The way the image changes 
between night and day and invites reflection is also beautiful. Out of the two proposals, this is the piece I 
would choose.
17725
5/26/2026 15:15 It looks a little bit too phallic for my liking
I feel like this one fits the prompt better, and is also more generally pleasing to look at.
17726
5/26/2026 15:20 Is there a way to make the ground show a picture when the sun shines through the glass disc?
Would the artist consider a design that is just the badge shape and no wings? 
17735
5/26/2026 16:22
I prefer Ken McCall's proposal because of it's elegance and how well it fits into the installation space. The 
sculpture feels as if it belongs there by complimenting the architecture of the station, in color scheme, 
shape and form, on top of having lovely symbolism.
17736
5/26/2026 16:43
Love the scale and shadow. 
17737
5/26/2026 17:17
I really like this one! Much better than the other one (sorry to the other artist, but the other one looks like an 
erect p** with nuts at the base, and no, I'm not a 14-year-old boy, lol!) This one is much more appropriate 
and appealing to the eye. 
17738
5/26/2026 17:35
Don't waste tax monies on these kinds of boondoggles. 
A total waste of tax dollars.  Stop the desperate search for places to throw away public funds.
17741
5/26/2026 19:50
The wings symbolism of guardianship and angels is too religious. 
17744
5/26/2026 21:27 This is really disappointing. Eternal watch is better, but not by much. 
It's pretty disappointing that these are the finalists but this one is at least better than "the watch continues" 
17745
5/26/2026 21:54
Nicely crafted and thought through proposal
17747
5/26/2026 22:08
Looks like a phallus. No no no.  
 
And why are we spending money here? The new police station is the last place in town that needs an art 
installation.  
Looks AI generated. This is less offensive but it's dumb and the lettering is not done well. There are structural 
weaknesses created by the typographic rivers created by the poorly chosen word pairings. 
And why are we spending money here? The new police station is the last place in town that needs an art

5/27/2026 7:46
I far prefer Ken McCall's proposal.  Much classier.
17758
5/27/2026 8:13 Incredibly ugly
Looks like it's from the hunger games
17761
5/27/2026 8:34 Hahahahaha it;s a bad Minecraft design and it's clearly a phallic symbol 
In image c, everywhere it says "integrity", "dedication" and "commitment" it is spelled wrong. 
17762
5/27/2026 8:35
I don't know. Looks to me like it was thrown together quickly in SketchUp. I don't understand what the 
skyscraper iconography has to do with Moscow Idaho. And at this point, columnar basalt is a real cliche in 
public works.
So you've got a pair of wings (are wings a police symbol? Seem like more of an Air Force symbol) stuck on top 
of a bunch of cutout words surrounding a cutout of person who looks more like a college graduate than a 
Police officer. 
No.

Check the spelling of integrity, commitment and dedication in image C. Hint they are all misspelled.

This is beautiful.  Doesn't require an explanation on symbolism and is for a tribute to all law enforcement.  
17770
5/27/2026 10:05 The Eye of Sauron at the MPD building.... What are we doing here...? 
This is significantly better than the alternative, but still feels gaudy. Given these two options we should do 
neither and wait for something else to develop. 
17771
5/27/2026 10:18
This sculpture would be a handsome addition to the new police station.
17774
5/27/2026 11:45 This just looks awkward.
Really nice. Love all the wording incorporated into the sculpture. The colors and shape suit its position in 
front of the building, and it looks like a real tribute to the officers with a solid reminder of why they serve. It's 
also easy to understand what it is without needing a plaque to explain it!
17776
5/27/2026 11:49 This looks like a giant phallas. 
I like this one best.  
I would not include the clock. First, maintenance will be a pain. And if it breaks, getting it fixed will be a pain. 
17779
5/27/2026 11:58 This is not attractive and does not fit the space or style well.
17782
5/27/2026 12:00
This one please! 
17785
5/27/2026 12:11
17787
5/27/2026 12:16
This piece looks more like a rocket without any distinctive allusion to police work. Far too abstract and 
outlandish.
This absolutely reflects everything police work is comprised of. A memorial for the community as well as a 
symbol of the honor and requisite for the badge, this is what should be out for the public to see at the police 
station. 100% on the money. 
17789
5/27/2026 12:21
Love the symbolism and general beauty of this one! 
17790
5/27/2026 12:21
I prefer this one.
17791
5/27/2026 12:27
This one feels cold, geometric and space themed. It doesn't easily communicate the intention of the 
sculpture.
This is beautiful and creative! I feel like it more obviously shows the honor intended. It is definitely more 
emotionally evocative than the other option. 
17793
5/27/2026 12:32 This looks like a giant pencil. Doesn't fit the purpose of memorializing a fallen officer.
I'm not a huge fan of spending public funds on sculptures, but a memorial for a fallen officer is an 
appropriate expenditure, and this makes an appropriate statement for that purpose. The use of negative 
space is especially fitting a good man is missing, but his absence shapes the world around it. The 
wings...maybe a bit too much. Why not just the shield? And the clock element feels too specific without its 
meaning being immediately obvious to those who don't know the details of Officer Newbill's death. Tl;dr: 
Shield: thumbs up. Wings: meh. Clock: thumbs down.
17795
5/27/2026 12:36
Love this!
17796
5/27/2026 12:43 An ugly sculpture with no discernable intrinsic meaning.
I would honestly prefer just the badge and outline of the officer; the sculpture is huge! I much prefer this 
sculpture to James Dihns sculpture. 
17797
5/27/2026 12:53 This one seems a bit scary and futuristic. 
I vote for this one! I like the symbolism, and it is visually appealing. 
17798
5/27/2026 12:57
Love how site specific this sculpture is!  I'm always drawn to artwork that represents a distinct idea and area 
as I feel that it is a true reflection of the community.  Definitely not "plop art" as I call it (artwork that can go 
anywhere with really just the written concept specific to the site).  
Really conveys the feeling of endless service provided by police officers, while memorializing those officers 
who are no longer with us.  
Beautiful and meaningful!
17800
5/27/2026 13:01
I find this sculpture to be both lovely and meaningful; definitely gets my vote!
17803
5/27/2026 13:37
It looks cool, but as a memorial, it's kinda trash. The whole point of a memorial is honoring their memory, and 
this says nothing to anyone who doesn't already understand its meaning. Cool art, but misses the mark. 
This is super cool! I love the wings. Aesthetically pleasing, clearly symbolic of passing the torch, reminiscent 
of the eternal flame! A nameless police framed against the shield reminds me of old battle arms with crests 
to remind foes who they were fighting, and friends who they were fighting for! Love love love this
17805
5/27/2026 13:45 I don't love this one. 
this one is much cooler. I like the shadow idea too
17807
5/27/2026 14:07 I love the color blue and the materials, but this whole thing looks a little too phallic to me.
I love Ken McCall's proposal! It seems unifying and it is beautiful. I love the shadows behind it, too!

I appreciate this sculpture and think that it brings both the community of Moscow and the importance of 
individuals together. It promotes the strength that each officer holds and is a great memorial to the sacrifices 
the Moscow PD has made for this community. 
17809
5/27/2026 14:19
I love the deep symbolism in this sculpture. I love how it honors those in the line of duty and inspires hope 
with the wings in motion. 
 
A beautiful idea!
17810
5/27/2026 14:59
Absolutely gorgeous! This would be such a bold statement piece. It's one of those iconic pieces of art that 
will resonate through time. Well done!
17811
5/27/2026 15:04
I like the incorporation of the basalt and the "thin blue line" as well as the potential reference to the badge 
number 149.  Overall I like the piece but I'm not sure I can appreciate it in this particular context. Personally 
I'm struggling with the overall tower look as the first thing it makes me think of is the Washington Monument 
in Washington DC, which was meant to symbolize the honorees long live and natural death, which feels like 
the wrong message here.  The tower and "eye" also feels a bit "big brother" to me.  Overall, I like the piece
I like the idea of community input on the words included in the shield!  The use of shadows as part of the art 
piece is also a nice touch.  I appreciate the symbolism behind the wings and shield.  I'm not sure how I feel 
about the corten steel though.  I like the look in some applications but to me it looks very industrial.  I have 
also heard it doesn't work as intended very well in our climate. 
17812
5/27/2026 15:16
I love your design and all the thoughtful elements you've included. I think anyone can understand what it 
represents even if they do not know about 2007. I love that the community could participate in the word 
selection as well. 
17816
5/27/2026 15:42
This one is more abstract and I'm not sure I would get the meaning without the artist statement. It also seems 
to "blend" in with the building. I'm sure one would notice it, but continue to walk on by not really getting the 
sense that this is a memorial artwork.
This proposal is much more dynamic and engaging. Visually it makes immediate sense, whereas the other 
proposal is more abstract. This one draws attention and draws the viewer in, especially with the words 
written on the badge. And is easily recognized as a tribute to police officers.
17817
5/27/2026 15:51
I really like this one! 
17818
5/27/2026 16:46
I like this one the best
17820
5/27/2026 16:58 I do like the use of basalt columns, however, Proposal 2 has a more meaningful design.  
I like this one best.  The clock in the design and the words on the shield are memorable.  I don't know how 
much of a shadow it would get, being on the north side of the building, but perhaps lighting in the evening 
could give a similar effect.  
17822
5/27/2026 17:26
I prefer this one. 
17824
5/27/2026 17:33
Luke age 10 and Grace age 12 like this one best.  Here's why: the outline of the officer is nice, it shows the 
time and the words are nice.  
17826
5/27/2026 18:33
I like this one
17827
5/27/2026 19:18 A "watch tower" feels very George Orwell 1984.
17828
5/27/2026 19:27
This is such a striking memorial to all of the Brave members of the police Department.  What a BEAUTIFUL 
Tribute to all who gave their lives so We are SAFE!!!
17829
5/27/2026 20:17 The symbolism is hard to see without the write-up. 
The symbolism of the piece stands on its own without explanation. It integrates with the building well, like 
they were designed together. The shadow/light element is pretty great. 
17831
5/27/2026 21:13
None of these are nice looking honestly, why not something classy and timeless. It reminds me of a weird 
spaceship. How about a bronze police officer with a place to put officers names?
Image c and E are ok.
17832
5/27/2026 21:20 I don't like this one. It looks like the eye of Sauron. 
This one is better. 
17833
5/27/2026 21:33
It looks like a mechanical pencil, and will have the same jokes made about it as the "fire hose" up at Station 
3. Ew. Please no.
It looks like Aragorn's crown in Return of the King, but it's better than the phallic mechanical pencil. 
17834
5/27/2026 21:45
So much thought and detail went into this design. The extra memorial to Officer Newbill gives a personal 
connection and allows the community to honor and remember him. Beautiful sculpture!
17835
5/27/2026 22:14 No
Yes
17836
5/27/2026 22:15
Love this one! 
17838
5/27/2026 22:25 This is super ugly. Not to mention that it looks like a giant phallic symbol. 
This matches up way better with the purposes of the sculpture and does it in a beautiful way.
17839
5/27/2026 22:52 This looks like a giant pencil at best. I don't think it communicates what it is intending to communicate.
This is the better of the two choices.

5/27/2026 23:03 This one is simple but imposing and neutral. I like the incorporation of textures and colors. 
I immediately thought this looks like a Gilead logo from the handmaidens tale. Or the hunger games. 
17842
5/27/2026 23:19
This is the best one!
17846
5/28/2026 6:12
This looks like a bullet. I strongly object to the glorification of violence as central to the public image of the 
Moscow police. 
17847
5/28/2026 6:26
My initial impression was that it resembled a rocket ship. I also had a secondary concern that some people 
may interpret it as resembling an inappropriate body part, which could be problematic for the front of a 
police station. I hesitate to raise that critique given the effort that clearly went into the design, but worry it's 
not going to honor our police officers.
The artist statement is powerful. The sculpture itself adds depth, dimension, and interest.

This looks like a giant pencil. Such an odd design and it definitely doesn't communicate what it says it 
represents. This would be a waste of money.
This communicates better, but it still is a bit of an eyesore. It looks like something out of the Lord of the Rings 
movies. Our city should spend the money that they are considering for this sculpture somewhere better 
(there are lots of things, like the proposed East City Park stage... or better streets and sidewalks).
17852
5/28/2026 7:26
From a distance it looks like.a pencil. And most people will see at a distance as they drive by on S Main. For 
that price tag we can do better. 
17857
5/28/2026 9:13
The group of hexagon stones at the base is great and provides depth to the piece. Love the regional tie in! 
However, the Spire of Honor with the fused glass inset looks like the Eye of Sauron from Lord of the Rings and 
has a "I'm always watching you" feeling to it which is a little too close to "big brother is always watching". 
People feel surveilled by the government enough, this is a bit on the nose with that. Putting the inlaid blue 
glass as a symbol of the thin blue line on the sculpture is a political statement on a City government 
platform, that does not seem appropriate to make that statement. Officers proudly distinguish themselves 
from the average citizen for their work by displaying the thin blue line, this does not show unity between the 
City, community members, and the police department. Having one officer's badge number excludes other 
officers and he is already memorialized in several other places around town. 
I like the form of the shield with the words depicting positive associations with police work. However, the 
figure is daunting at night (it seems as though a man is hiding in the shadows, always watching like "big 
brother" does rather than showing a lasting legacy), which does not positively reflect Ofc. Newbill. The figure 
in the shield is almost haunting, and I would not want people to remember my family member memorialized 
like that. The wings are impressive, but police officers are not exactly angelic like the figure depicts. The 
wings shape, the opening at the bottom, and clock at the top center look anatomical of women's 
reproductive features and once you see it, it's difficult to change that perspective. The shield with 
inspirational words is respectful, inspiring, and proper.

A beautiful, powerful sculpture honoring those who serve, reminding those who are served!
17862
5/28/2026 11:24 It reminds me of a bullet, and looks aggressive. I don't like it at all.
The figure/word part has a good feeling but the angel wings, no. They don't work well together.
17863
5/28/2026 13:37 This looks like the eye os Sauron. Not a fan.
Kitsch hodgepodge of references; but more aesthetically pleasing than the first. The shadowing is the best 
part.

Although I greatly appreciate the underlying purpose and goal, this proposal immediately invites 
inappropriate connotations of a crude and vulgar nature.  This was not only my immediate reaction, but also 
those of others in my office and others with whom I work who are City of Moscow employees.  Please pass on 
this.
As with the other proposal, I truly appreciate the goal of this project.  However, the wings invite a religious 
connotation that would not be appropriate for a public structure, much less one at a law enforcement 
center.  I know that the committee has been working hard on this project but this, too, should be modified or 
passed over.

I think the concept may be a little too abstract for the setting. It reminds me more of a rocket ship than the 
church. Would love to see something that feels more relevant to the police department. 
I really like this sculpture! it stands for something, looks pleasing to the eye and I like that it casts a shadow

Setting this sculpture apart from the building invites viewers to experience it more fully in three dimensions. 
Vegetation around its base anchors it to the landscape. My first impression of this design is that of a rocket or 
missile, rather than evoking reflections on law enforcement and the personnel who serve. The obelisk with a 
triangular spire on top and a fused glass "eye" evoke themes from ancient Egypt or Stonehenge. The work is 
artful, but seems better-suited to a different setting than Moscow.
Of the two finalists, this sculpture and concept seem best-suited to the setting and theme. It's a thoughtful 
tribute to Officer Lee Newbill, his colleagues, and those who succeeded him in the Department. (I hope his 
family members were specifically invited to comment.) That said, the open-frame image of a Police Officer 
feels too formulaic and stereotypical. The cap resembles a UI mortarboard more than MPD headwear. As 
presented, I can see it as a favorite setting for University graduates to pose for pictures, possibly climbing 
onto the top of the shield and posing inside the opening of the aluminum wing-like upper structure. Could be 
a safety hazard, even adjacent to a police building. The example of words on the shield is kind of hard to read 
at the scale of my computer monitor, but I did catch the word "brotherhood." Given the number of women 
entering law enforcement, the gender-exclusive reference could be received as an affront, or at least a 
deterrent to females who might otherwise pursue it as a career. I encourage careful review of the words 
generated by the collaborative community involvement process this artist wisely suggests. My vote would be 
for Ken McCall's installation, with some modifications.
17878
5/28/2026 22:54 Reminds me too much of the Eye of Sauron. Not a fan.
This is really cool, what a thoughtful piece.
17879
5/29/2026 5:13 Doesn't make as much sense and looking at it with no description, context, etc it seems very out of place. 
With no context it feels cohesive with the PD and just fits better. This design also feature a lot more detail and 
extra effects, such as the shadow. This design looks like it was made for the police department, carries more 
meaning, and overall looks better. 
17880
5/29/2026 7:40
I really like the resemblance to basalt columns and the incorporation of glass for reflection. I think the piece 
would be more appealing in person than the artist renditions offer, as the drawings seem a little cold, rigid 
and "pointy." 
This piece is my first choice. I like the symbolism and grace of the concept. The words in weathered steel 
compliment the brick walls of the building. The reflection on the back wall adds depth to the piece.
17881
5/29/2026 9:52 Honestly this one looks like a phallus and I don't like it
I like this one a lot better than the other one
17886
5/29/2026 13:07 Rather abstract and minimalistic.  Nice, but not my favorite.
Nice design and one that respectfully memorializes Officer Newbill and which reflects the basics that 
Moscow PD exemplifies.  I like this design much better than the other.
17888
5/29/2026 13:22
I like this one better than the first, but it also looks a little out of the hunger games.  I feel like we can do 
better!!

“Eternal Watch” by Ken McCall   |   Moscow Police Department 
 
Artist Statement 
“Eternal Watch” is designed as a lasting tribute to the courage, sacrifice, and humanity of those 
who serve in law enforcement, while also honoring the broader Moscow community shaped by 
loss and remembrance. Created for the alcove at the entrance of the Moscow Police Department, 
the sculpture responds directly to the project’s intention to commemorate the enduring legacy of 
service carried from one officer to the next at the “end of watch.” The work recognizes not only the 
heroism associated with policing, but also the emotional and psychological realities experienced 
by officers, their families, and the community long after tragedy has passed.  
 
The sculpture’s form and symbolism are rooted in imagery connected to the Moscow Police 
Department and the 2007 incident being memorialized. A shield serves as the central structural 
element, representing protection, strength, and steadfast commitment to public service. 
Emerging wing-like forms symbolize vigilance, guardianship, and the enduring spirit of those who 
continue to serve. Incorporated into the design is the frozen time of 1:49, referencing both the 
memorialized clock tower and Officer Lee Newbill’s badge number. This detail transforms the 
sculpture into a marker of remembrance that connects personal sacrifice to collective memory, 
reminding viewers that acts of courage continue to resonate through generations.  
 
Positioned near the station entrance, “Eternal Watch” functions as both a place of reflection and a 
visual threshold between the public and those sworn to protect it. During the day, the sculpture 
casts shifting shadows that symbolize the lasting imprint of service and sacrifice. At night, 
integrated lighting projects imagery from the sculpture onto the surrounding wall, extending its 
presence beyond the physical structure. These illuminated projections symbolize the role of 
officers during moments of uncertainty and crisis, when courage, clarity, and compassion are 
most needed. The interaction of light and shadow reinforces the idea that service extends beyond 
visible acts and continues to shape the community in lasting ways.  
 
Material selection is integral to the meaning of the work. Corten steel was chosen for its ability to 
weather over time, developing a protective patina that reflects endurance, resilience, and healing. 
Aluminum elements introduce light and contrast, symbolizing hope and continuity. Together, 
these materials create a balance between permanence and transformation, echoing the evolving 
nature of memory and community healing.  
 
Community involvement is central to the project. Words incorporated into the shield may be 
selected by stakeholders, officers, families, and community members, allowing the sculpture to 
Page 64

## Page 65

carry the collective voice of Moscow itself. This collaborative aspect reflects the principles of 
community policing and reinforces the relationship between officers and the people they serve.  
 
“Eternal Watch” reflects my broader exploration of remembrance, resilience, and shared human 
experience through monumental sculpture. Combining industrial materials with symbolic 
abstraction, my work creates spaces for reflection, emotional connection, and civic engagement. 
Through scale, shadow, and symbolism, this sculpture honors sacrifice while conveying unity, 
endurance, and hope for future generations. 
 
Artist Biography 
As a sculptor based in Boise, my creative philosophy is shaped by the principle that each 
public art project holds its own potential, warranting a fresh, site-specific design that 
resonates with its environment and purpose. Over more than 25 years, I have specialized in 
crafting contemporary metal sculptures that merge clean, flowing lines with unexpected 
details, bringing a sense of elegance and depth to each piece. My fabrication expertise 
extends beyond my own practice, enabling me to collaborate with artists from other 
disciplines and to realize complex, multifaceted installations. 
 
Regionally, I have partnered with numerous Boise artists and the nationally renowned 
sculptor Arthur Higgins, and have completed a wide range of public works Circuitree for 
Greeley, CO; Transference for Boise State University; a multiple sculpture design and 
installation for The City of Bend, OR; an entryway sculpture for the Inn at 500 in Boise, ID; 
24/7 and Call and Respond for Fire Stations #4 and #8 in Boise, ID; a kinetic sculpture 
powered by the wind for Heroes Park in Meridian, ID; an iconic free-standing sculpture 
Spiral of Injustice at the Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial in Boise, ID; a kinetic 
sculpture representing a historic park and its relationship with the surrounding community 
throughout time for Munson Park in Norfolk, VA; A New Leaf for Bates Technical College in 
Tacoma, WA; a placemaking sculpture, Pillars of the Community, at Fire Station No. 36 in El 
Paso, TX; Ambassador’s Portal at Don and Anne Davis Park in Newport, OR; a multi 
sculptural bench installation for a senior living center in Broomfield, CO; a roundabout 
sculpture of a mare and her foal celebrating the spirit of rodeo in Nampa, ID; a didactive 
piece commemorating the City of Nampa in the heart of downtown in Lloyd Square; an 
entry way sculpture celebrating community upstanders at the Wassmuth Center for 
Human Rights in Boise, ID; Vita Nova celebrating new life for Rogers Farm neighborhood in 
Superior, CO; an entry way metal relief sculpture signifying how individuals in the 
community make up the local landscape for Monroe Detention Center in Woodland, CA; a 
three-part installation for Chateau Park inspired by native flowers and pollinators in 
Meridian, ID; a series of leaf benches for a nature trail in Addison, TX; and a mountain 
Page 65

## Page 66

dandelion that veins in the wind for Ulysses Park in Golden, CO. These projects 
demonstrate my commitment to creating art that celebrates the spirit of place and 
community, from commemorative works at the Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial 
to placemaking sculptures at fire stations, parks, and civic spaces across Idaho and 
beyond. 
 
My primary mediums—aluminum and stainless steel—allow for flexibility in producing both 
delicate and monumental works, ideal for lasting outdoor installations. Through 
meticulous construction methods, my studio achieves seamless finishes that emphasize 
the elegant lines of a design. I thoughtfully employ color, and often integrate materials such 
as gilding, mosaic, acrylic, and specialized finishes to enrich the visual narrative of each 
work. 
 
As an original artisan, I offer commissioning agencies a personalized approach: I answer all 
calls and emails myself, design, fabricate, transport and install my own artworks, and work 
directly with architects, contractors, engineers, and community stakeholders. My practical 
experience in construction and fabrication ensures that my designs are feasible within 
established budgets and timelines, and allows for direct control over every stage of the 
process—from concept to installation. This commitment yields public art that unites 
artistic vision, solid craftsmanship, and careful integration with the natural setting.

Project Description 
The City of Moscow and the Moscow Arts Commission (“MAC”) invite artists and artist teams to submit 
qualifications for a three-dimensional artwork to be installed at the Moscow Police Station. The artwork will 
be installed in an alcove near the entrance of the facility, located at 155 Southview Ave, Moscow ID.  
Project Theme 
Police work is handed from one officer to the next at the end of watch, an enduring legacy of service that 
connects all those who serve in law enforcement. This artwork will honor the tradition of community policing 
and inspire past, current, and future MPD officers, whose sense of family extends to include the community 
members in their care.  
Not only do police officers protect the vulnerable, but they also accept the dangers that can come from this 
important work. All police officers and their immediate families reckon with the unknown, the uncertainty of 
risks and fortuitous surprises that may come during a shift. Police work is often a joyful act of service, and 
sometimes, sadly, a gift of life itself for the safety of the community. This artwork commemorates the 
multitude of effects experienced by officers and their families after the end of watch.  
The artwork dedication will be central to the commemoration of the 20th anniversary of an incident in 
Moscow, ID that greatly affected the lives of multiple law enforcement personnel and resulted in three 
civilian deaths as well as the loss of one officer’s life. The impacts of such an event last far beyond the end 
of watch. This artwork will dignify the physical, mental, and emotional work that goes on long after a shift, 
a retirement, or after a loss of life in the line of duty.  
Iconography  
Law enforcement has a rich visual and conceptual tradition. Symbols of this field include the bald eagle and 
sheepdog. The 5-pointed star is often used as an emblem of a department’s core values. Additionally, the 
flag at half-staff is a universally-recognized statement of mourning for victims of local tragedies along with 
the passing of public officials at state and national levels.  
These traditional symbols may be useful as an introductory point of reference for the artist’s conceptual 
development, but imagery specific to the incident commemorated by this artwork centers on the clock 
tower. Officers on the scene report that the chiming of the clock tower marked time though the nightmarish 
day, serving as both a comfortingly predictable structure and a haunting memento mori. The clock tower 
was memorialized in the MPD patch design in 2022. In the design, the hands of the clock are set to 1:49, 
echoing the badge number of Lee Newbill, the officer killed in the line of duty that day.  
About Moscow Police Department 
MPD Mission 
The Moscow Police Department’s mission is to provide public safety services that are designed to fairly, 
efficiently, and effectively prevent crime and safeguard lives and property. We will provide professional 
police services by inviting public participation, resulting in a community atmosphere where citizens are free 
of unnecessary regulation and are treated with dignity and respect. Our personnel will maintain high 
ethical standards, training, and professional development. Our goal is to provide a community that is safe, 
secure, and a pleasant place to live and visit.

costs accrued by the artist specific to this project. The artist honorarium does not include costs associated 
with lighting and signage. These processes will be completed and paid by the City of Moscow. 
 
Eligibility 
Artists eighteen (18) years-of-age and older from the United States are eligible for this project. Preference 
may be given to artists who live in Latah County, Nez Perce County, or those who are Nez Perce or Coeur 
d’Alene tribal members and/or have a significant Idaho economic presence, with secondary preference

About Moscow, ID 
Moscow is settled on the rolling hills of the Palouse, a rich landscape long inhabited by the Nimiipuu (Nez 
Perce), Palus (Palouse), and Schitsu’umsh (Coeur d’ Alene) tribes indigenous to the region. The City of 
Moscow was incorporated on July 12, 1887, and its modern history is rooted in agriculture; the 
surrounding region produces top-quality wheat and pulses. The presence of farming in the community goes 
far beyond commerce, however, as grain silos and other architectural features announce agricultural 
endeavor as part of the community’s aesthetic identity.  
 
Moscow is home to the University of Idaho, a land grant institution established in 1889. School spirit 
influences the atmosphere of the city, imbuing it with the balance of gravitas and celebration that 
characterizes educational experience. University arts programs like the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival and 
the Prichard Art Gallery have greatly contributed to Moscow’s identity as a cultural center. The community 
is rich not only in visual and performing arts events, but also in recreational and culinary opportunities. 
Residents and visitors alike enjoy the Palouse landscape at recreational features like Moscow Mountain and 
the Bill Chipman Palouse Trail, followed by tastes of the region at area restaurants, wineries, breweries and 
the Moscow Farmers Market.  
 
City of Moscow Public Art 
Public art is at the heart of Moscow’s creative culture, and with a collection including works by local and 
regional artists, its public spaces reflect the Inland Northwest’s tradition of artistic excellence. The City of 
Moscow Arts Department and the Moscow Arts Commission (MAC) share a mission to enrich the 
community by celebrating and cultivating the expressions of all forms of art and culture. The MAC has 
fostered artistic excellence and public access to the arts in the city since its founding on October 2, 1978. 
Programming includes curation of exhibition space at the Third Street Gallery inside City Hall, a biennial 
Mayor’s Arts Awards, Moscow Poet Laureate programming, and a comprehensive public art program.  
 
The City of Moscow’s acquisition of public art began in the 1980s and is supported by a 1%-for-the-Arts 
fund established in 2004. A Public Art Master Plan, adopted in 2015, guides the incorporation of new 
works into the City’s landscape. Stewardship of the collection is a collaborative effort, with artistic advice 
from the MAC, direction from City Council, and operational details managed by Arts Department staff. The 
Public Art program aims to reflect the character of Moscow by fostering relationships between individuals 
and institutions in the community. Whether part of the University, business community, or the agricultural 
tradition, the City’s creative partners generate aesthetic excellence, civic identity, and economic strength by 
supporting the arts. 
 
The Public Art collection is currently comprised of more than 220 temporary and permanent features. 
Temporary artworks include vinyl-wrapped utility boxes and bus shelters as well as a sculpture garden 
featuring artworks on loan to the City. Artworks in the permanent collection range from mosaic murals and 
sculptures-in-the-round to framed pieces in the Portable Collection. Each new piece in the permanent 
collection joins others by celebrated regional artists including Harold Balazs, David Govedare, Miles 
Pepper, Robert Horner, Melissa Cole, J. Casey Doyle, Jay Rasgorshek, and artist team Jennifer Corio and 
Dave Frei.  
 
Moscow is a community rich with diversity of thought, inhabited by minds open to possibility and creative 
interpretation. As such, the Public Art program not only celebrates the artist as a professional and valued 
business partner, but also welcomes a broad range of appearances, media, and art-making processes into 
its collection.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE 
Ordinance Amending Moscow City Code Title 4, Chapters 1, 3, 4, and 6 Regarding Single-Family 
Dwellings, Two-Family Dwellings, and Bed and Breakfast Inns (ACTION ITEM) - Mike Ray 
 
RESPONSIBLE STAFF 
Michael Ray, Assistant CD Director/Planning Manager 
 
 
ADDITIONAL PRESENTER(S) 
 
 
 
 
 
DESCRIPTION  
The City of Moscow Community Development Department over the past few years has observed the 
evolution of building plans being submitted for two-family dwellings which increasingly have multi-
family elements. 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. 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. The Planning and Zoning Commission has 
identified the need to mitigate the immediate impact upon the surrounding neighborhoods by preparing 
an ordinance to amend certain definitions, ensure there is adequate open space, and require sufficient off-
street parking. Additionally, 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. The Planning and Zoning 
Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed ordinance on May 13, 2026, and unanimously 
recommended approval to City Council. The public hearing before City Council has been scheduled for 
July 6, 2026.

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

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 109

## Page 110

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 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

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 
service shops, clothing, food, furniture, manufacturing or wholesale and related 
uses.  
d. 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.

e. 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. 
f. 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. 
2. 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. 
D. 
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.

i. support[s] the bicycle in an upright position by the bicycle frame in a 
minimum of two (2) locations;  
ii. prevent[s] the wheel of the bicycle from tipping over; and  
iii. 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. 
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.   
d. 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. 
e. 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. 
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 121

## Page 122

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.

Memo 
To: 
Mayor and City Council

Date: June 17, 2026 
Re: 
Amendment of Title 4, Chapters 1, 3, 4, and 6 Moscow City Code Regarding the 
Amendment of Certain Definitions, Bed and Breakfast Inns within the Use Table, 
Bulk and Placement Regulations Table, and Off-Street Parking Requirements 
Pertaining to Single- and Two-Family Dwellings 
The City of Moscow Community Development Department over the past few years 
has observed the evolution of building plans being submitted for two-family dwellings 
which increasingly have multi-family elements. 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. 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 health, safety and welfare of the 
occupants of multi-family dwellings and mitigate the impacts of the use upon the 
surrounding neighborhood.  
 
Multi-family dwellings are required to install fire alarm and fire suppression systems, 
provide ADA accessible units with accessible site amenities, have greater off-street 
parking requirements, and include common open space. Two-family dwellings have 
no fire alarm or suppression requirements, are not subject to ADA requirements, and 
have much lower off-street parking requirements.  
 
Staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission have identified the need to protect the 
safety of the residents of these multi-family-like dwellings and the need to mitigate 
their impact upon adjacent properties and neighborhoods. This memo will provide a 
background on code requirements, types of plans which have been submitted, and the 
changes which are being proposed to address this issue.  
 
Fire Alarm and Fire Sprinkler Requirements 
The Planning and Zoning Commission has been discussing this issue for the past five 
months and there has been some discussion about just requiring fire alarm and fire 
Page 124

sprinklers in two-family dwellings. The issue is that the State of Idaho requires 
municipalities to adopt the building codes which are adopted by the state. Multi-family 
and commercial buildings are covered by the 2018 International Building Code (IBC), 
which allows municipalities to adopt stricter standards. However, the 2018 
International Residential Code (IRC) covers single- and two-family dwellings and 
municipalities are permitted to adopt stricter standards only in certain chapters. 
Currently, fire sprinkler systems and/or fire alarm systems are not required for single- 
and two-family dwellings and municipalities are not allowed to adopt stricter standards 
which would require their installation.  
 
Pertinent Existing Definitions Within Moscow City Code 
Moscow City Code provides definitions of permitted structures and uses including: 
 
Dwelling, Two Family (MCC 4-1-6.D.49) - A building containing two (2) kitchens 
and designed to be occupied by two (2) families living independently of each other. 
 
Dwelling Unit (MCC 4-1-6.D.51) - A building or portion thereof providing complete 
housekeeping facilities for one (1) family. The term "dwelling" shall not be deemed 
to include motel, hotel, tourist home, bed and breakfast inn, or boarding house. 
 
Dwelling, Multi-Family (MCC 4-1-6.D.50) – A building designed to house three (3) 
or more families living independently of each other and having one (1) yard in 
common. 
 
Family (MCC 4-1-6.D.56) - a. For purposes of this “family” definition: 
(1) “related” shall mean persons related by blood, marriage, adoption, and/or 
guardianship or other duly authorized relationship, and  
(2) “family” shall not mean any society, club, fraternity, sorority, association, lodge, 
federation, bed and breakfast inn, boarding house, residential rental unit, or other like 
use or organization, and  
(3) there shall be no more than one (1) “family” per dwelling unit, unless otherwise 
permitted by this Code.  
(4) “living together as a single housekeeping unit” shall mean where all occupants 
of the dwelling unit enjoy a common right to use the entire dwelling, despite informal 
arrangements among members to designate certain areas as individual sleeping 
spaces, and where such persons share household living arrangements, including, 
but not limited to, rental or mortgage payments, utility payments, groceries, chores, 
maintenance of the premises, and common sanitary, living, and cooking supplies 
and/or facilities.  
(5) “related by blood” shall mean persons related in any combination of the following: 
parents, step-parents, children, step-children, siblings, step-siblings, half-siblings, 
uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces, grandparents, grandchildren, great grandparents, 
great grandchildren, and first cousins.  
b. One (1) or more related persons living together as a single housekeeping unit in a 
dwelling unit; or  
c. Not more than four (4) persons living together as a single housekeeping unit in a 
dwelling unit, when one (1) or more of them is not related to any other person in such 
dwelling unit; or  
Page 125

## Page 126

d. Two (2) persons who are not related and any number of additional persons related 
to either of such two (2) unrelated persons, as long as all persons are living together 
as a single housekeeping unit in such dwelling unit; or  
e. Eight (8) or fewer unrelated mentally and/or physically handicapped or elderly 
persons reside; and which is supervised. Resident staff, if employed, need not be 
related to each other or to any of the mentally or physically handicapped or elderly 
persons residing in the home. No more than two (2) such staff shall reside in the 
dwelling at any one (1) time 
 
Kitchen (MCC 4-1-6.D.76) - Any rooms used or intended or designed to be used for 
cooking and/or preparation of food. 
 
Two-Family Dwelling Plan Sets 
Below are three sets of building floor plans which show the progression from a 
standard two-family dwelling to dwellings which are being portrayed as two-family 
dwellings but function as multi-family dwellings. Plan Set 1 depicts a standard floor 
plan for a two-family dwelling which is typically submitted to the Community 
Development Department for review. The first floor contains common areas which 
include a living room, dining room, kitchen, and bathroom. When you enter the 
dwelling you enter the common open living room with an office and an open stairwell 
in close proximity. There is also a one car garage with one parking space in the 
driveway located on the first floor. The second floor contains an open hallway and 
landing at the top of the stairs which provides access to three bedrooms, two 
bathrooms, and a laundry room. You can see that complete housekeeping facilities are 
provided in an open arrangement where all occupants of the dwelling unit enjoy a 
common right to use the entire dwelling, as is currently required per code.

labeled on their plans in a way that can be read at this small of scale. 
 
The next set of plans in Plan Set 2 below is a multi-family-like dwelling which is being 
portrayed as a two-family dwelling. The main entry to the structure is on the first floor 
and you immediately enter onto the landing of a stairwell. You can either go upstairs, 
downstairs to the basement, or pass through an opening the width of a standard door 
to enter the area with a kitchen, bathroom, and rooms labeled as dining and living 
rooms. The area downstairs is labeled as a bedroom and is accessed via the common 
stairwell through a closeable door. The entire area is labeled as a bedroom even though 
the footprint is identical to the area on the first floor labeled as living, kitchen, and 
dining. There are countertops/cabinetry, a sink, washer/dryer, and a bathroom. The 
galley area which contains the countertops/cabinetry, sink, and washer and dryer 
separates the two rooms on either side which both meet the building code definition of 
a bedroom.  
 
The second, third, and fourth floors of the structure are all identical to the area labeled 
as a “bedroom” in the basement. All contain countertops/cabinetry, a sink, 
washer/dryer, and a bathroom. All it would take is plugging in a refrigerator and a 
cooking device such as a hotplate and these “bedrooms” are individual dwelling units 
with complete housekeeping facilities with separate access via a stairwell.  
 
If you were to make a comparison of the off-street parking requirements for a two-
family dwelling as opposed to a multi-family dwelling, you will see that the 
requirements are far less for a two-family dwelling. The parking requirements for two-
family dwellings is 2 spaces plus 1 for every bedroom in excess of 4 bedrooms. The 
parking requirements for multi-family dwellings as they relate to this structure would 
Page 127

## Page 128

5 
be 1.25 spaces per studio or 1-bedroom apartment. Plan Set 2 as submitted as a two-
family dwelling would require 4 parking spaces. Plan Set 2 classified as a multi-family 
dwelling where each “bedroom” is a separate dwelling unit would require 13 spaces. 
The way these “bedrooms” are being used as separate dwelling units creates 10 
apartments with only 4 off-street parking spaces. The structure is being used as 10 
dwelling units when it was only intended to have 2 dwelling units.

The last set of plans in Plan Set 3 below are similar to Plan Set 2 but have further 
evolved into a multi-family dwelling. The main entry to the structure is on the first 
floor and you immediately enter onto the landing of a stairwell. There are two doors to 
the left and on the right which access two rooms labeled as bedrooms. These bedrooms 
have countertops/cabinetry, a sink, refrigerator, washer/dryer, microwave, and a 
bathroom. Heading up the stairwell to the second floor there are another set of rooms 
labeled as bedrooms separated by doors which each include countertops/cabinetry, a 
sink, refrigerator, washer/dryer, microwave, and bathroom. The third floor is also 
accessed via the common stairwell and provides access through a door to a room 
labeled as a bedroom which also contains everything the other bedrooms have. The 
difference between the third floor and the other two floors is that there is a 6ft by 7ft 
room with a door adjacent to the stairwell landing which is labeled as a kitchen and 
contains a stove, refrigerator, and a sink. It is clear that the “kitchen” was placed 
directly adjacent to the stairwell in an attempt to satisfy the requirement that all 
occupants live together as a single housekeeping unit sharing common sanitary, living, 
and cooking facilities.

The way that these structures have continued to evolve as shown in Plan Set 2 and 
Plan Set 3 indicates that the areas labeled as bedrooms are clearly individual dwelling 
units with full housekeeping facilities intended to be occupied independently, with the 
only shared areas being stairwells. These structures, as designed, contain four to five 
separate dwelling units per “side” of the duplex, each containing separate food 
preparation areas, separate toilets and shower facilities, separate laundry facilities, 
separate refrigerators, separate ingress and egress, and the only shared common area 
is a stairwell providing independent access to each “unit” in the same fashion as any 
other apartment building. In the case of Plan Set 3, it is difficult to imagine how a 
single dwelling unit for a family to reside as a single housekeeping unit would require 
six kitchen sinks, six refrigerators, five clothes washers and dryers, and five bathrooms. 
 
Staff recognizes that there is a need for additional housing within the City, but that 
shouldn’t come at the detriment to the safety of the residents of these multi-family-like 
dwellings and the need to mitigate their impact upon adjacent properties. Therefore, 
staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission have worked to identify the need to 
amend certain definitions, ensure there is adequate open space, and require sufficient 
parking to serve each development.  
 
Amendments to Definitions (MCC 4-1-6) 
The first proposed definitional change is to Bedroom (MCC 4-1-6.D.17), with the 
proposed modifications: 
 
Bedroom.  A room within an apartment unit other than a living room, kitchen, 
bathroom, eating area or utility room which may be used for sleeping purposes. A 
room other than a living room, kitchen, or bathroom containing an egress window 
and a minimum of seventy (70) square feet of floor area with no horizontal 
dimension less than 7 feet. Sinks, final or rough-in plumbing, or other plumbing 
features that could be reasonably expected to permit or allow for the installation of 
a sink, shall not be permitted within any bedroom. All bedrooms shall be accessed 
from common areas within the dwelling such as a living room or kitchen and shall 
not be designed in a manner which would allow independent occupancy unless 
otherwise permitted by this code. 
 
The bedroom definition is essentially adopting the current building code definition of 
a bedroom and then specifying that there shall be no sinks or features which would 
allow the installation of a sink in the future. As was detailed above in Plan Set 1 and 
Plan Set 2, sinks are being proposed in each bedroom which then combined with 
counters/cabinetry, refrigerators, and a cooking device end up creating a food 
preparation area. Also proposed within the bedroom definition is the requirement that 
all bedrooms shall be accessed from common areas of the dwelling so that they are not 
designed in a manner which would allow independent occupancy. This addition is 
intended to address the observance of bedrooms which are only accessed via stairwell 
with direct access to the exterior of the structure being included in plan sets.   
 
The next definition proposed to be amended is Single Family Dwelling (MCC 4-1-
6.D.46), with the proposed changes: 
 
Page 132

## Page 133

10 
Dwelling, Single Family.  A detached building or manufactured home containing 
one (1) kitchen designed for, and occupied exclusively by, one (1) family. A second 
kitchen may be permitted with a recorded deed restriction, so long as the property 
is used as a single-family dwelling only with no physical separation established to 
separate living quarters within the dwelling which would allow the structure to be 
used and occupied by two families living independently of each other. The 
classification “single family dwelling” shall include any home in which eight (8) or 
fewer unrelated mentally and/or physically handicapped or elderly persons reside; 
and which is supervised.  Resident staff, if employed, need not be related to each 
other or to any of the mentally or physically handicapped or elderly persons residing 
in the home.  No more than two (2) such staff shall reside in the dwelling at any one 
(1) time. 
 
The changes to the single-family dwelling definition specify that the building contains 
one kitchen and also adds an allowance for a second kitchen so long as there is a 
recorded deed restriction and the property is still used as a single-family dwelling with 
no physical separation established to separate living quarters. The second kitchen 
allowance has been a longstanding policy in the Planning Department which is now 
being codified.  
 
The next definition proposed to be amended is Dwelling Unit (MCC 4-1-6.D.51), with 
the following changes:  
 
Dwelling Unit.  A building or portion thereof providing complete housekeeping 
facilities for one (1) family. Housekeeping facilities provide permanent provisions 
for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation, and shall be limited to one (1) 
kitchen and two (2) washer and dryer sets per dwelling unit unless otherwise 
permitted by this Code. The term "dwelling" shall not be deemed to include motel, 
hotel, tourist home, bed and breakfast inn, or boarding house. 
 
A dwelling unit is a building or portion thereof providing complete housekeeping 
facilities for one family. A description of the term housekeeping facilities is being 
inserted with the limitation that each dwelling unit only contains one kitchen and two 
sets of washer and dryers unless otherwise permitted by the code. In staff’s analysis of 
the building permits over the past two years, there were three large single-family 
houses which contained two sets of washer and dryers, so the Planning and Zoning 
Commission decided to propose a limitation of two sets instead of just one set.  
 
Functional Open Space (MCC 4-1-6.D.61) is the next definition proposed to be 
amended as follows:  
 
Functional Open Space.  Land within a development which is permanently reserved 
as open space, free from permanent structures, useful for recreational or social use 
by the residents of the development, or others; such space shall not include streets, 
roadways or parking areas. Such space shall be located on grade and may be 
provided via a private yard, deck, or patio area. Functional open space shall not 
include parking areas or required landscape buffers and the smallest dimension of 
such open space shall not be less than fifteen feet (15’). 
Page 133

## Page 134

11 
 
The definition of functional open space is proposed to be expanded to specify that the 
open space needs to be located upon grade, can’t include parking areas or required 
landscape buffers and the smallest dimensions can’t be less than fifteen feet. Since the 
existing definition of functional open space has been so vague, open space provided 
for primarily multi-family development has typically ended up in small pieces 
scattered throughout the development. This amendment, especially with the minimum 
dimension of fifteen feet, will ensure that the open space provided for a development 
is actual functional for the residents.  
 
The final definition proposed to be amended is Kitchen (MCC 4-1-6.D.76), with the 
following changes presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission on May 13, 
2026 :  
 
Kitchen.   Any rooms used or intended or designed to be used for cooking and/or 
preparation of food. That portion of a dwelling devoted to the preparation or 
cooking of food for the purpose of consumption by residents of the dwelling 
unit.  Any room or area with a combination cooking (i.e. Stove, oven, hot plate, 
burner, and/or microwave oven), food storage or assembly (i.e. counters, cabinets, 
storage, and/or refrigeration), sinks or plumbing stubs, above counter outlets, 
natural gas stubs, and/or 220-volt electrical wiring is a kitchen for the purpose of 
this code. 
 
Since the public hearing before Planning and Zoning Commission, the definition of 
Kitchen has been amended to the following:  
 
Kitchen.   Any rooms used or intended or designed to be used for cooking and/or 
preparation of food. That portion of a dwelling unit devoted to the preparation or 
cooking of food for the purpose of consumption by residents of the dwelling unit. 
For the purposes of this Code a kitchen is a food preparation area containing 
cabinetry and/or countertops, a sink, and one or more of the following: a 
refrigerator, cooking device, dishwasher, a natural gas stub or supply, or a 220-volt 
electrical outlet/wiring. 
 
The reason for the amendment was concern that individual elements such as a 
refrigerator which are shown on plans would constitute a kitchen. Therefore, the 
definition has been amended prior to advancing to City Council.  
 
The current definition of kitchen is vague and just states that any rooms used or 
intended or designed to be used for cooking and/or the preparation of food is a kitchen. 
Since many of the definitions in the zoning code reference the term kitchen and there 
are different components of a kitchen being shown in bedrooms on plans which are 
being submitted, it was critical to further define what a kitchen is. Generally, there is 
cabinetry and/or countertops, a sink, and some combination of one or more of the 
following elements: a refrigerator, cooking device, dishwasher, a natural gas stub or 
supply, or a 220-volt electrical outlet/wiring. This detailed definition will help to 
clarify what constitutes a kitchen so that the zoning code is applied in an equitable 
manner.

Multiple Single- and Two-Family Dwellings on Single Lots 
Within the Medium Density Residential (R-3) Zone, Multiple Family Residential (R-
4) Zone, and Residential Office (RO) Zone, more than one structure is permitted per 
lot so long as the minimum lots size requirements can be met. This has led to properties 
primarily located in the Almon/Asbury area to be redeveloped with multiple single- 
family or two-family dwellings per lot. These properties function much like a multi-
family development but aren’t required to meet multi-family site design requirements 
because they are still just single- and two-family dwellings, even though there are 
multiple dwellings on an individual lot. In some circumstances, this has allowed the 
development of up to four or more structures on one lot which are placed six feet away 
from each other to meet minimum building code requirements. This type of 
development typically has multiple driveways with tandem parking and minimal 
functional open space. Below is an aerial image of the Almon/Asbury area which 
shows this development pattern.  
 
 
Aerial showing Almon/Asbury area  
 
Since these developments with multiple structures on individual lots largely function 
as multi-family developments, amendments are proposed to treat them as such. As was 
discussed previously, the definition of functional open space is proposed to be 
amended to require at least fifteen feet of width in the open space area. This will require 
actual functional open space to be developed as part of these developments. An 
additional change to functional open space is to require open space in the R-3 Zone, 
which currently is not a requirement.  
 
There are certain design requirements for parking lots and spaces which are proposed 
to be amended to address multiple structures on individual lots. Currently, parking lots 
Page 135

## Page 136

13 
and spaces shall be designed such that their use will not require backing movements 
or other maneuvering within a street right of way (MCC 4-6-2.A.6.d).  However, 
parking spaces provided for single- and two-family dwellings are exempt from this 
requirement, unless the street being accessed is a designated arterial street. An 
exception to the exemption is being proposed where there is more than one detached 
single-family dwelling or two-family dwelling upon a single lot. So, lots with multiple 
structures on a single lot will need to contain all the vehicle maneuvering to the site 
and will not be permitted to reverse back out onto a street. Reversing back onto an 
alley and using an alley as the travel aisle for parking lots or parking spaces will still 
be permitted. 
 
The next proposed change within the parking lot design requirements is the section 
which addresses tandem parking (MCC 4-6-2.A.6.e). Currently, 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-family, twinhome, and townhouse 
dwellings. Tandem parking is only permitted for multi-family 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. 
 
The changes proposed in this section are to state that the parking serving more than 
one detached single-family dwelling or two-family dwelling upon a single lot shall not 
be permitted to be in a tandem configuration, except as provided under the conditions 
listed above for multi-family dwellings. So, essentially just treating multiple single- or 
two-family dwellings upon a single lot as multi-family for the purposes of tandem 
parking requirements.  
 
The next area where amendments are being proposed is the off-street parking schedule 
which sets standards for compact spaces, fractional requirements, area calculation, and 
specific zone exceptions (MCC 4-6-2.E). A Bedroom Calculation section is proposed 
to be added within the off-street parking schedule which clarifies how bedrooms are 
calculated for the purpose of determining the off-street parking requirements. The 
proposal is to specify that 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. 
How the majority of the off-street parking requirements are calculated for residential 
uses is based upon bedrooms. Plans have been submitted for single- and two-family 
dwellings which clearly have rooms which meet the definition of a bedroom per the 
Page 136

## Page 137

14 
building code but are labeled as another type of room to avoid additional off-street 
parking requirements. This clarification is not about increasing parking requirements, 
it’s about being able to administer the parking requirements in an equitable manner. 
One set of plans should not be able to utilize a parking reduction by simply labeling 
bedrooms as another type of room and then using those rooms as bedrooms.  
 
The final area related to off-street parking that is proposed to be amended is MCC 4-
6-2.E.6 which is the off-street parking table which lists the number of automobile 
parking spaces required by use of building or site. Below are two tables, one with the 
current residential parking requirements and the second with the proposed changes. 
The only changes which are being proposed are to twinhomes and townhouses which 
currently just have a set off-street parking requirement of two spaces per dwelling unit. 
Plans have been submitted for twinhomes and townhouses which contain up to eight 
bedrooms in each dwelling unit but still would only require two parking spaces. 
Therefore, all residential types except for multi-family are proposed to be two off-street 
parking spaces per dwelling unit, plus one per bedroom in excess of four bedrooms. 
This change would align twinhomes and townhouses how single- and two-family 
dwellings are currently calculated.

Proposed Residential Off-Street Parking Requirements  
 
 
Analysis 
In order to analyze the impact of the proposed changes on normal plans which are 
being portrayed accurately as to what use they are, staff reviewed the past two years of 
building plans for single-family, two-family, twinhome, and townhouse dwellings. 
There were 111 standard plans and these plans from 2024 to 2025 were reviewed using 
the proposed changes to the parking requirements, review of sinks in bedrooms, and 
washer and dryer sets. All plans which were reviewed were compliant with the 
proposed changes. Initially, the number of washer and dryer sets per dwelling unit 
were proposed to be limited to one. During the review of the 111 sets of plans, it was 
observed that three large single-family dwellings had two sets of washer and dryers. 
Therefore, the Planning and Zoning Commission decided to propose the limit be set at 
two sets instead of one.  
 
Change to the Land Use Table 
There is one change to the land use table located in MCC 4-3-4, which is essentially 
just clarifying a long-standing interpretation regarding the number of unrelated 
individuals who are allowed to reside within a dwelling unit. Within the land use table 
there are two uses, Single Family (up to 4 unrelated individuals) and Single Family (up 
to 6 unrelated individuals). Single-family with up to four unrelated individuals is a 
permitted use in all residential zones. Single-family with up to six unrelated individuals 
is permitted within the R-4 Zone, but is a conditional use within all the other residential 
zones. It’s been a long-standing interpretation that if there is a two-family dwelling 
within an R-4 Zone that each dwelling unit is permitted to have six unrelated 
individuals residing there. However, since the land use table currently only lists single-
family as being permitted to have up to six unrelated individuals, that appears to not 
be the case. Therefore, Single Family (up to 6 unrelated individuals) is proposed to be 
amended to Dwelling Unit (up to 6 unrelated individuals) to account for the number 
of unrelated individuals in all residential dwelling units, not just single-family 
dwellings.

House Bill 583 – Short Term Rentals 
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. In order to be in compliance with House Bill No. 
583 upon its effective date of July 1, 2026, staff is proposing to amend the use table to 
allow Bed and Breakfast Inns as a permitted use in all zoning districts in which single-
family dwellings are permitted.  
 
Recommendation 
The Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed 
ordinance on May 13, 2026, and unanimously recommended approval to City Council. 
The public hearing before City Council has been scheduled for July 6, 2026.

Time limit 15 minutes. Members of the Public may speak to the Commission regarding matters NOT on

and resident city for the record and limit your remarks to three (3) minutes. 
Leah Latta, Moscow, talked to the Commission about the possibility of making changes to the Central 
Business Zoning District, specifically on what uses are permitted by right. She was also concerned about 
Conditional Use Permits approved in perpetuity and whether that could be changed, especially in the 
downtown area. She then had questions about noise ordinances for air space over Moscow.  
 
3. Public Hearing: Legislative Hearing Providing for the Amendment of Title 4, Chapters 1, 3, 4, and 
6 of Moscow City Code Regarding Amendments to Single-Family Dwellings, Two-Family Dwellings, 
and Bed and Breakfast Inns (ACTION ITEM) 
Over the past few years, the Community Development Department has received construction plans for 
duplex dwellings which have continued to evolve into multiple individual dwelling units intended to be 
rented as separate dwelling units and function as multiple family dwelling units. These two-family 
dwellings appear to be intentionally designed to avoid life safety, ADA accessibility, and off-street parking 
that would otherwise be required for multiple family dwelling units to protect the safety and welfare of 
the occupants of multi-family dwellings and mitigate the impacts of the use on the surrounding 
neighborhood. Staff recognize that there is a need for additional housing within the City, but the need to 
protect the safety of the residents of these two-family dwellings and mitigate the impact upon adjacent 
properties requires greater regulation. Therefore, staff proposes some code amendments for the 
Commission’s consideration that will clarify existing definitions and apply some multi-family 
requirements to more than one single- or two-family dwelling upon a single lot.    
Ray presented the proposed Code Amendment as described above, and recommended the Commission 
approve and put before City Council. There will be more proposed Code Amendments brought before the

Commission over the next year to address changes required from the Idaho Legislation’s recent bills. 
 
Public Hearing opened at 7:19 PM 
 
John Slagboom, Moscow, opposed the proposed ordinance on the grounds that it would make housing 
development more difficult. He encouraged the Commission to reduce the Zoning and Building Code as 
much as possible to allow for more cost savings and flexibility for developers. 
 
Brad Covington, Moscow, spoke against the proposed code amendment because of his concerns that it would 
drive community residents to make unsafe living condition choices. 
 
Public Hearing closed at 7:25 PM 
 
The Commission had a discussion about the careful balance of maintaining a minimal Zoning Code that also 
prioritizes the life-safety of Moscow citizens. The Commissioners continued to talk about the flexibility of 
housing density, parking requirement impacts, and the definition of a bedroom according to the Building 
Code. There was a conversation about changes in development standards as the City grows and that the 
Commission needs to continue to strive to make code amendments for the good of the community as a whole.  
 
Seever moved to recommend approval of the proposed Code Amendment for Single-Family Dwellings, Two-
Family Dwellings, and Bed and Breakfast Inns, as written. The motion was seconded by Gropp. Roll Call 
Vote; Ayes: Unanimous (7). Nays: None. Abstentions: None. Motion Carried.
