7. PUBLIC HEARING: 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 health, 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 Administrative Committee
reviewed this item at their June 22, 2026, meeting.
PROPOSED ACTIONS: After considering public testimony, approve the Ordinance under
suspension of the rules requiring three complete and separate readings and that it be read by title
and published by summary; or consider the Ordinance on first reading and that it be read by title;
or reject the Ordinance; or take such other action deemed appropriate.
8. Lot Division at 924 Public Avenue (ACTION ITEM) - Lucy Falcy
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 on 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. 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 applicants intend to
donate the unbuildable tract to Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute to use as a pedestrian
path. 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. This item was reviewed at the June 22, 2026, meeting of the Administrative Committee and
recommended for approval with one condition.
PROPOSED ACTIONS: Approve the proposed lot division with the condition that a minimum
of fifty (50) feet of width be maintained on Parcel 1 for the extension of Cherry Blossom Lane in
the future; or approve the lot division with no conditions; or deny the lot division; or take such
other action as deemed appropriate.

John Slagboom (Moscow) shared his concerns about the East City Park Stage Replacement project
contract issuance scheduled for Council discussion in July. Urged the Council to find alternate means for
funding the project.
Zach Rishling (Moscow) talked about a private developer’s purchase of local mobile home parks and
raising rent on the lessees. He asked questions about creating more low-income housing in Moscow and
expressed worry about the mobile home parks being closed down.

the program is partnering with other organizations for the 250th Anniversary of the United States of
America to host multiple events.
Sam Gragert (Moscow) brought up the need for low-income housing, as well as the need for investing in

5. Appeal of Board of Adjustment Decision Regarding 513 S. Main Street (ACTION ITEM) - Mike
Ray/Lucy Falcy
On March 2, 2026, Roderick ‘Rusty’ Olps applied for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to offer music,
fitness, and dance classes at 513 South Main Street within the Central Business (CB) Zoning District.
The Board of Adjustment conducted a public hearing for the proposed CUP on April 27, 2026, and
subsequently voted to deny the application based on Criterion #2 “The character of the proposed use
will be in harmony with the neighborhood and surrounding land uses” and as documented in their
written decision dated May 20, 2026. On May 27, 2026, the applicant submitted an appeal of the Board
of Adjustment’s decision to the City Council per MCC 4-8-5. This matter is before the City Council
for consideration.
PROPOSED ACTIONS: Council has the following options:
1. Sustain the Decision (in whole or in part)
2. Reverse the Decision (in whole or in part)
3. Remand the Matter to the Board of Adjustment (in whole or in part)
With any of the three options, staff should be directed to prepare a written decision reflecting Council's
action.
Ray provided a brief overview of the appeal process, as well as the background on relevant US and state
codes. Falcy continued the presentation by introducing the appeal and background of the Board of
Adjustment’s decision, as described above.
Rusty Olps (appellant) reviewed his application materials and the Board’s decision to deny the CUP.
Argued that many of the comments made by the public were hostile in a religious nature and against
religious assembly, which is a legal use by right at the subject site. The Board stated that the public
testimony was a factor in their decision to deny the CUP. His proposed use would be in harmony with the
neighborhood, as seen by multiple other businesses in the CB zone that also offer educational uses. He
requested that Council approve the Appeal to allow the proposed use at the subject property. Offered to
meet and talk to any of the public who have concerns about the proposed plans.
Staff informed Council that they can ask clarifying questions if it is related to the information provided in
the record. Holmes asked who the current owner of the subject property is, which is 513 South Main Street
LLC, of which Rusty is a managing member. Kelly brought up the consideration of the Board of
Adjustment’s (BOA) definition of “harmony” and how they used that to justify the denial. Holmes
mentioned that the Comprehensive Plan emphasizes the downtown area as best served by shopping,
dining, and events, and suggested that the CUP process should be used to review applications that may
not be for the betterment of downtown. Sumner urged Council to prevent judgment on what commercial
businesses would be viable or not, as the government should not be involved in private development.
Retail is competitive, especially with big-box stores that can often provide lower prices.
Blankenship talked about what “harmonious” means as well, and how that can greatly affect a decision.
McCetich asked for the definition of “retail”, which Ray provided, and wanted to know the differences
between educational fitness classes and fitness centers. There continued to be conversation about whether
the application could be considered harmonious or not, based on the materials submitted. Davis reiterated
that the proposed use appears to be a harmonious use with the neighborhood, based on the current and
allowed uses in the CB zone. He appreciated that citizens shared their opinions and concerns.
Holmes asked rhetorically why this particular use is considered a Conditional Use and not a permitted use
by right. CUPs deserve a higher level of scrutiny, especially those in the CB zone. Blankenship quoted
Page 7
## Page 8
City Council Minutes
June 15, 2026
Page 4 of 5
some of the public testimony from the original hearing. An approved CUP does not set a precedent for
future CUPs.
Mayor Lewis requested the specific proposed use for which this request was made, which would be music,
dance, and fitness education. Kelly spoke more about the harmony issues that the BOA had during the
hearing. Belknap provided instructions on the grounds that Council could Remand a decision back to the
BOA. Mayor Lewis shared some specifics of the Board’s denial decision. Holmes did not think the
applicant provided enough detail to the BOA to make an informed decision and has now included more
information about having retail. Mayor Lewis asked Holmes to provide clarification on his "worst-case
scenario" statement, for which he was talking about having a downtown with dead space and lacking
vitality. He clarified that, piece by piece, downtown could lose its vitality with CUPs and permitted by
right uses that do not provide back to the community.
Mayor Lewis shared a short list of the permitted uses in the CB zone. Sumner asked Holmes what part of
the application did not provide enough information. Holmes had concerns about the 2019 ordinance being
vague and uninformative as well as the relevant criteria and standards that the Board needs to consider for
their decisions. Sumner wanted to encourage flexibility of uses in the CB zone, with the understanding
that there are ordinances that prevent extreme abuse of use. Mayor Lewis asked Holmes what he thinks
would have made the application more complete, regarding which Holmes stated the information provided
was too vague.
Davis argued that BOA did not provide enough justification for their decision. McCetich struggled to also
find the justification behind the decision based on the record and is leaning towards reversing the Board's
decision.
Davis moved to reverse the decision in whole. McCetich seconded.
Holmes had concerns about approving the CUP without any conditions. The applicant could provide a
new, more complete application and be approved with possibly some conditions for a time limit. Mayor
Lewis asked staff if Council could put conditions on a CUP application after it has been denied and
appealed, for which they can. There continued to be discussion about the future uses of the property,
whether a CUP is approved or not.
Holmes moved to amend the motion by adding the condition that the CUP be tied to the current property
owner, 513 South Main Street LLC. McCetich seconded.
The Council had a conversation about the proposed amended motion, adding clarification for staff.
Roll Call Vote on amendment: Ayes: Holmes (1). Nays: Blankenship, Davis, Kelly, McCetich, Sumner
(5). Abstentions: None. Motion to amend failed.
Roll Call Vote on original motion: Ayes: Blankenship, Davis, McCetich, Sumner (4). Nays: Holmes, Kelly
(2). Abstentions: None. Motion carried.
Blankenship moved to direct staff to prepare a written decision based on the Council's action.
Davis seconded. Roll Call Vote: Ayes: Unanimous (6). Nays: None. Abstentions: None. Motion carried.

Page 5 of 5
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. This was reviewed by the Administrative Committee
on May 26, 2026, and recommended for approval.
PROPOSED ACTIONS: Approve FBI Gem State Crimes Against Children Task Force Memorandum
of Understanding and Reimbursement Agreement, or take other action deemed appropriate.
Dahlinger introduced the item as written above and outlined the benefits of joining the task force. Mayor
Lewis used the opportunity to remind the audience of national tip hotlines. Blankenship asked about the
relationship of the task force with local tribal partners, for which the FBI would be able to provide more
information. Holmes clarified that this agenda item was not reviewed by the Public Works Finance
Committee but was seen by the Administrative Committee.
Kelly moved to approve the FBI Gem State Crimes Against Children Task Force Memorandum of
Understanding and Reimbursement Agreements. Motion was seconded by McCetich. Roll Call Vote:
Ayes: Unanimous (6). Nays: None. Abstentions: None. Motion carried.

RESPONSIBLE STAFF
Lucy Falcy, Planner
ADDITIONAL PRESENTER(S)
DESCRIPTION
Under MCC Section 6-1-6, City Council may grant a temporary trailer permit for an indefinite period if
unusual hardship is shown by the issuance of an ordinary 60 day 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.
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 his 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. This item was reviewed at the

From: Lucy Falcy, Planner I
Date: June 15, 2026
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

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.

4-2; and
WHEREAS, music, dance, and fitness classes are classified as ‘Educational Services’ in the
Moscow Land Use Table per Moscow City Code Title 4, Chapter 4, Section 4-2; and
WHEREAS, “Educational Service” is a conditionally permitted use within the Central Business
zone where it is provided by a school or instructor that is not associated with an elementary or
secondary school or college, university, or professional school; and
WHEREAS, on April 27, 2026, the Zoning Board of Adjustment (hereinafter “Board") conducted
a duly noticed public hearing to consider the Conditional Use Permit application (LUP 2026-
0010); and
WHEREAS, the Board denied the Conditional Use Permit application at the April 27, 2026 public

Moscow City Code Title 4, Chapter 8, Section 8-4.B; and
WHEREAS, on May 20, 2026, the Board approved their written decision which denied the

WHEREAS, Mr. Olps requested oral argument within said appeal in accordance with Moscow
City Code Title 4, Chapter 8, Section 8-5.B.3; and
WHEREAS, on June 15, 2026, the Moscow City Council considered Mr. Olps’ appeal during a

NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOSCOW, IDAHO,
AFTER DUE DELIBERATION AND CONSIDERATION OF THE RECORD
ESTABLISHED BY THE MOSCOW ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND
CONSIDERATION OF BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT DECISION REGARDING LUP2026-
0010 AND HAVING CONSIDERED THE ISSUES PRESENTED IN THE APPEAL,
HEREBY CONCLUDES THAT ALL MATTERS STATED ABOVE ARE TRUE AND
CORRECT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN ALONG WITH THE FOLLOWING:
I.
RELEVANT FACTS AND CONCLUSIONS
1. Roderick ‘Rusty’ Olps filed a timely appeal in accordance with Moscow City Code Title
4, Chapter 8, Section 8-5 on the grounds that the decision of the Zoning Board of
Adjustment was unsupported by substantial evidence in the records or as a whole, and he
requested oral argument before the City Council.
2. The City Council considered Mr. Olps’ appeal during a duly noticed regular meeting of the
City Council.
3. The City Council considered the appeal pursuant to procedures and requirements of
Moscow City Code Title 4, Chapter 8, Section 8-5.
4. The City Council was provided the complete record related to this matter including all
filings, applications, meeting minutes, written decisions, meeting transcripts, meeting
recordings, and all other official records regarding the matter.
5. Upon review of the record of the April 27, 2026, Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting, the
City Council finds that the record lacks specific evidence or factual findings identifying
any specific operating characteristics or potential nuisances that would result from the
operation of the proposed use on the subject property that would render the use to be
inconsistent or injurious to the neighboring and surrounding properties and land uses.
6. Upon review of the Zoning Board of Adjustment’s written decision dated May 20, 2026,
the City Council finds that the written decision lacks adequate justification or factual
findings and analysis to support the determination that the character of the proposed use
will be in harmony with the neighborhood and surrounding land uses.

decision was unsupported by substantial evidence in the records and as a whole.

The Moscow City Council hereby REVERSES the decision of the Zoning Board of Adjustment
in whole.

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 for approval. This was reviewed by the Administrative Committee on June 22,
2026, and recommended for approval.
REVIEWED BY
Selection Panel, Moscow Arts Commission, City Attorney
PROPOSED ACTIONS
PROPOSED ACTIONS: Approve the design by Taylor Shaw, with revisions as recommended by the
Moscow Arts Commission, and the associated professional services agreement, or take such other action
deemed appropriate.

17723
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 50
## Page 51
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.

necessary. CITY will assume cost for repairs upon expiration of the one (1) year
warranty period set forth in this Agreement through the end of the mural
installation period which is anticipated to be between 5 – 8 years from the time
of installation. Whenever practical and fiscally possible, ARTIST shall be given
an opportunity to perform and/or act as consultant for the repair or restoration of
the Artwork, for which ARTIST shall be entitled to reasonable compensation,
provided CITY directs the repair or restoration. In the event that the Artwork is

damaged or destroyed, CITY, in its sole discretion, may restore the Artwork or
choose not to restore the Artwork, subject to receipt of any insurance proceeds
and other funds sufficient for the repair or restoration.

shall be free from defects in materials and workmanship, including inherent vice.
ARTIST shall, for a period of one (1) year from final acceptance of the Artwork by

notification of a defect in materials or workmanship, ARTIST shall have sixty (60)
days to commence repairs. ARTIST shall conclude the repairs within a reasonable time.

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.

travel expenses, food, design fees, lodging, and any and all expenses related to the creation of artist’s
proposal and presentation. No site-specific designs will be reviewed or considered in Round #1 of the
submission process.
Round #2 will consider the merits of finalist proposals. The Selection Panel will make a recommendation to
the MAC, which will recommend an artist/artist team and design to City Council. Upon approval by City

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.

ADDITIONAL PRESENTER(S)
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 for
approval. This was reviewed by the Administrative Committee on June 22, 2026, and recommended for
approval.

5/26/2026 14:06
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

Looks like it's from the hunger games

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Eternal watch is much nicer

17851

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.
17858
5/28/2026 9:36 Bizarre and too obscure.
Beautiful and concise.
17860
5/28/2026 10:23 I do not like this one. It looks like the Eye of Sauron.
I like this one.
17861
5/28/2026 10:40
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.
17864
5/28/2026 13:43
This one is amazing!! It has ALL of my votes!
17869
5/28/2026 15:13
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.
17870
5/28/2026 16:36
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

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

“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 76
## Page 77
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 77
## Page 78
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, 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
PUBLIC HEARING: 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 health, 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 Administrative Committee reviewed
this item at their June 22, 2026, meeting.
REVIEWED BY
Planning and Zoning Commission

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 121

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 122
## Page 123
ORDINANCE 2026-__
AMENDING MCC T4 C1,3,4 & 6
PAGE 24 OF 36
a. Parking lots and their associated driveways and vehicle maneuvering areas shall
have plant mix asphaltic concrete of two inch (2”) thickness with six inches (6”) of
crushed rock base, or Portland cement concrete of four inch (4”) thickness with four
inch (4”) crushed rock base surfaces, or an alternative surface of similar durability
and utility, approved by the City Engineer. These standards are designed for
passenger vehicles and may not support heavy truck traffic and/or loading.
b. Parking lots and required interior landscaping shall be contained by a curb which
is at least four inches (4”) high and which is set back a minimum of two feet (2’)
from the property line and from exterior landscaping, except where the parking
spaces are provided for single family dwellings.
c. Individual parking spaces shall be permanently marked to allow users to adequately
identify the required individual spaces, except where the spaces are provided for
single family or two (2) family dwellings.
d. Parking lots and spaces shall be designed such that their use will not require backing
movements or other maneuvering within a street right of way. Parking spaces
provided for single family and two (2) family dwellings are exempt from this
requirement, unless the street being accessed is a designated arterial street __or there
is more than one (1) detached single-family dwelling or two (2) family dwelling
upon a single lot__. The continuation, alteration, expansion, relocation, re-
construction, or replacement of a single or a two (2) family dwelling, for which the
parking requires backing or maneuvering within a designated arterial street right-
of-way, shall be allowed where such situation existed prior to May 1, 2003,
notwithstanding the nonconformity regulations of this Zoning Code. Additional
parking required as a result of the expansion, alteration, reconstruction, or re-
placement of any such two (2) family dwelling shall meet the parking design
standards required at the time of the building permit application. Where backing
movements are proposed within an alley right-of-way, a sidewalk with a minimum
width of three feet (3’) shall be provided adjacent to the parking lot between the
parking lot and the use served by the parking lot.
e. Parking lots and spaces shall be designed such that a vehicle shall not be required
to cross another parking space to gain access to a required parking space (tandem
configuration) except for parking spaces serving single-family, two (2) family,
twinhome, and townhouse dwellings. __Parking serving more than one (1) detached
single-family dwelling or two (2) family dwelling upon a single lot shall not be
permitted to be tandem, except as provided below.__ Tandem parking may be allowed
for multi-family dwellings __or more than one (1) detached single-family dwelling or
two (2) family dwelling upon a single lot__ under the following conditions:
i. The purpose of the parking design is to provide enclosed garages for ~~the multi-
family dwelling~~ resident use;
ii. The tandem parking spaces (the parking space within the garage and in front of
the garage) are assigned and furnished for use by the occupants of a single~~-
family~~ dwelling unit without separate, additional compensation; and
iii. No more than fifty percent (50%) of the required parking may be provided in a
tandem configuration.
f. Service drives to off-street parking areas shall be designed to provide maximum

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 133
## Page 134
ORDINANCE 2026-__
AMENDING MCC T4 C1,3,4 & 6
PAGE 35 OF 36
ii. One (1) shrub of at least one (1) gallon in size for perennial and at least two
(2) gallons in size for deciduous or evergreen, every six feet (6’). Such
shrubs, upon maturity, shall provide visual relief of a minimum of three feet
(3’) in height and fifty percent (50%) shall be evergreen.
iii. Consideration shall be given to the selection of trees and shrubs that at
maturity do not present vehicular sight obstructions at driveway / street
intersections.
b. Required Interior Landscaping: Parking lots containing thirty (30) or more
parking spaces shall include interior landscaping. Multiple parking lots on a
single property are counted separately for the purpose of interior landscaping.
The Zoning Administrator may determine that parking lots that are separate, but
connected by travel aisles, may still be counted separately for the purpose of
interior landscaping requirements. Interior parking lot landscaping shall be in the
form of landscaped islands that comply with the following requirements:
i. Landscape islands shall have a minimum width of eight feet (8’), as measured
inside of perimeter curbing, and a length equivalent to the adjacent parking
spaces.
ii. There shall be one (1) island for every twelve (12) parking spaces, evenly
distributed in the parking lot.
iii. The landscape islands shall be protected by curbing and shall contain:
(a) One (1) tree of one and one-half inch (1.5”) caliper;
(b) Low shrubs of at least one (1) gallon in size for perennial and at least two
(2) gallons in size for deciduous or evergreen; and
(c) Vegetative ground cover.
iv. Landscape islands adjacent to a double row of parking spaces, as shown in
Figure 3 below, shall contain two (2) trees of one and one-half inch (1.5”)
caliper.
v. Consideration shall be given to the selection of trees and shrubs that at
maturity will not interfere with parking lot lighting or present vehicular sight
obstructions.
vi. The Zoning Administrator may authorize the relocation of a parking lot tree
to another parking lot landscape area if such tree is deemed to interfere with
parking lot lighting or vehicular sight distances.

From: Mike Ray, AICP, Planning Manager

Bill Belknap, City Administrator
Nichoel Baird Spencer, Deputy City Administrator
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

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 137
## Page 138

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.

*Note: The red text is just labeling the areas and rooms which the applicants have
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 139
## Page 140
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.

## Page 142

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.

## Page 144

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 144
## Page 145
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 145
## Page 146
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 147
## Page 148
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 148
## Page 149
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.

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.

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.

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.
REPORTS

The next meeting of the Transportation Commission is scheduled for Thursday, May 14, 2026. There will be

AGENDA ITEM TITLE
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 the proposed northern lot until it connects with property
owned by Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute at the site’s north-west 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. This item was reviewed at the June 22, 2026,
meeting of the Administrative Committee. The Committee recommended approval with the condition
that a minimum of fifty (50) feet of width be maintained on Parcel 1 for the extension of Cherry Blossom
Lane in the future.

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.
