Let’s Fill Upcoming Garden City Meetings

Please join your neighbors in a coordinated fight to save our open space, the golf course, and our quality of life. The City of Garden City has received a Specific Area Plan (SAP) application that would allow for a massive development on 22.68 acres of the River Club Golf Course. David Leroy, a lawyer representing concerned neighbors, submitted his response to the SAP application on February 8, 2023. We need to pack Garden City Hall with a “standing room only” crowd of concerned homeowners in the Plantation neighborhoods at each of the following meetings:

• Wednesday February 15, 2023 | 6:30pm
  Planning and Zoning work session

• Monday March 13, 2023 | 6:00pm
  City Council work session

• Wednesday March 15, 2023 | 6:30pm, subject to change
  Planning and Zoning Commission hearing
  *There will be opportunities for public testimony at this meeting.
  UPDATE: The applicant has requested a deferral of this meeting to allow Ada County Highway District (ACHD) to complete its review of the application and the Traffic Impact Study, and to allow both parties to review recommendations from ACHD. This meeting might be postponed till April. Keep checking back for updates.

Please make every effort to attend and offer rides to your neighbors who may not like to drive in the evening. We may look into securing a bus to take us all together to the March 15 and March 27 meetings if there is interest in doing this.

Please continue to write letters to City Council members, the Mayor, and Planning and Zoning. They will accept letters so long as they are received more than seven days prior to the hearing. It is definitely not too late to send letters for the March meetings. Letters should be emailed to the following:

jevans@gardencityidaho.org, tjorgensen@gardencityidaho.org, rheller@gardencityidaho.org, bjacobs@gardencityidaho.org, jpage@gardencityidaho.org, planning@gardencityidaho.org

There is strength in numbers. Please join in.
