The Nibley City Planning Commission convened on August 8, 2025, to discuss proposed amendments to city codes regarding parking requirements for residential properties. The meeting focused on recommendations for changes to accessory dwelling unit (ADU) standards and parking regulations for single-family and two-family residences.

The first item on the agenda was a motion made by K. Tyler to amend ordinance 25-23, specifically targeting city code sections 19.24.160 and 19.24.250. The proposed changes would require three off-street parking spaces for single-family homes and four for two-family residences. The motion received a second from Troy, prompting further discussion among the commission members.

During the discussion, concerns were raised about the feasibility of accommodating the new parking requirements within existing residential designs. Members noted that many homes in the area, particularly those with two-car garages, could meet the proposed standards. However, there were questions about the practicality of fitting a one-car garage with adequate driveway space for two additional vehicles.

The commission acknowledged that while smaller lots might present challenges, it was still possible to design single-family dwellings with a one-car garage and two parking stalls in front. The conversation highlighted the need for flexibility in residential design to ensure compliance with the new parking regulations while maintaining livability.

The meeting concluded without any further discussion on the motion, which will be revisited in future sessions as the commission continues to refine the proposed amendments. The next steps will involve gathering additional input from community members and stakeholders to ensure the regulations meet the needs of Nibley residents.
