Proposed Revisions for City of Arco Chapter 17 - Planning and Zoning
17.08.020 Zone Map
April 15, 2026, at 6:00 p.m.
Butte County Business Center
Conference Room 203

In compliance with Sections 50-901 and 50-902, Idaho Code, for Ordinances and City Codes, the City of Arco, Planning and Zoning Commission, will hold a public hearing to receive comments on proposed updates and revisions to the City Zone Map (Arco Code, Title 17, Chapter 17.08.020).
The updates and revisions propose to rezone parcels with existing single- and multi-family residential structures that are within the current commercial zone to R1 single family residential, or R2 multi-family as the case may be. The proposed updates also identify the downtown commercial core, and propose to rezone multi-family residential structures such as the Arco Senior Apartments, the Cimarron Apartments and the adjacent School District parcel, and converted motel/apartments to R3. Existing residential duplexes would be rezoned R2. All existing industrial business parcels not already zoned Industrial would be rezoned to Industrial. Additionally, some currently Public zone parcels that conduct business office activities, or other business activity, would be rezoned to commercial. Parks, schools, and city well or utility sites remain Public zone.
Descriptions and definitions for R1, R2, R3, Commercial and other zone districts for the City of Arco can be found City of Arco Title 17 Zoning on the City of Arco website: https://cityofarco.municipalimpact.com/title-17-zoning
