H0937

Idaho H0937 regulates development on religious land, allowing multifamily and mixed-use housing while prohibiting heavy industrial uses.

Idaho H0937 amends existing law to regulate development on religious land, allowing multifamily and mixed-use housing developments. Cities must permit these developments if they comply with applicable regulations, except for restrictions on building heights above three stories and conversion of existing buildings. The bill prohibits heavy industrial uses on religious land, defined as storage, processing, or manufacturing uses involving flammable or hazardous materials. Religious land is defined as land owned or leased by a religious organization for at least 40 years.
