REGULAR AGENDA
1. Approval of Minutes from September 24, 2025 (ACTION ITEM)
Seever moved for approval of the minutes as written, seconded by Beebe. Roll Call Vote; Ayes: 
Unanimous (8). Nays: None. Abstentions: None. Motion carried.
2. Public Comment
Time limit 15 minutes. Members of the Public may speak to the Commission regarding matters NOT 
on the Agenda nor currently pending before the Planning and Zoning Commission. Please state your 
name and resident city for the record and limit your remarks to three (3) minutes.
Kate Jaeckel, Moscow, talked about an issue they recently encountered with multiple cars parked along 
the north end of Orchard Avenue. She asked the City to look into putting no parking signs on one side of 
the street or address the problem in a different way.
Brad Jaeckel, Moscow, had concerns about the Woodbury 1st Addition development schedule and when 
the next additions will be annexed into Moscow. There has been an increase in traffic along Orchard Ave 
to access Woodbury that is concerning.
3. Potential Duplex Code Amendments (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 recognizes 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 is proposing some code 
amendments for the Commission’s consideration that will clarify existing definitions and apply some 
multi-family requirements to more than one single- or two-family dwelling upon a single lot.  
Ray introduced some potential code amendments for duplexes as described above and went through 
definitions currently in the Moscow City Code. There was a conversation about how the changes could 
potentially impact future Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). The Commissioners had a discussion about 
ensuite bathrooms and how the code amendment verbiage would accommodate those. The proposed

changes would not apply to Multi-Family or Single-Family zoning code, but only to the Duplex code. 
There was a conversation about the possibility of making changes to the building code regarding duplexes 
instead of the zoning code. There continued to be a discussion about parking requirements for different 
zoning districts. 
Scott moved to direct Staff to prepare a draft code amendment ordinance regarding duplexes as discussed, 
seconded by Beebe. Roll Call Vote; Ayes: Unanimous (8). Nays: None. Abstentions: None. Motion 
carried.
