- Following an 18-month public process, the City of Chubbuck has prepared “Chubbuck 2045: Comprehensive Plan” for consideration by the Land Use and Development Commission. The City’s current Comprehensive Plan was last updated in 2002, Chubbuck’s Future Land Use and Urban Service Area maps were updated and adopted by Chubbuck City Council in 2010. For several years the city prepared to draft a major plan update, when funding was available, that would establish new goals, objectives and strategies into the year 2045. In 2023 the City budget included funds for updating the plan, and the City was awarded a grant from the Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation for Health to support including various health aspects in the planning process.
The geographic extent of the plan extends beyond the city limits to include an Area of City Impact administered with Bannock County. The plan is organized into eight chapters beginning with an introductory chapter summarizing the purpose of the plan, the preparation process, and the plan contents. Chapter 2 introduces the reader to the City of Chubbuck, its setting, history, and demographics. Chapters 3 through 7 include numerous plan components, as required by Idaho Code Section 67-6508: Natural Environment, Built Environment, Public Services and Quality of Life. The Community Health discussion appears in the Quality of Life section. The Future Land Use Map appears in the Built Environment section. Chapter 8 presents an Implementation Program derived from the plan strategies organized to provide guidance to realize community priorities. Appendices with supporting documentation may be found at the end of the plan, including documentation of all public outreach associated with the planning process.
