Boise council sets Aug. 11 hearing on 135.9-acre Orchard Street mixed-use subdivision
Boise City Council is scheduled to hold an Aug. 11, 2026, public hearing on a preliminary plat application for a 135.9-acre mixed-use subdivision proposed at 6310 S. Orchard St.
The application, identified as SUB25-00096, seeks a preliminary plat for 35 buildable lots. The hearing will be at Boise City Hall, according to the public notice.
The matter remains a pending land-use application. The notice schedules a council hearing, but it does not report a final council decision, and it does not establish that the project has been approved or that construction has begun.
Proposal includes mixed-use and industrial zoning
The notice identifies the proposed subdivision as being in mixed-use and light-industrial zoning districts. It should not be characterized as an entirely residential project based on the available notice.
The 135.9-acre property is also identified as having Airport Influence, Wildland Urban Interface and Development Agreement overlays. Those overlays are listed in the notice as part of the land-use framework associated with the application.
The scale of the application — 35 buildable lots across 135.9 acres — is among the details the council will consider as it acts on the preliminary plat. The notice does not provide further descriptions of the proposed lot uses, a construction schedule or other project-development details.
Council action is still ahead
At the Aug. 11 hearing, Boise City Council may accept, reject or modify the Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation on SUB25-00096. That makes the hearing the next known council action identified in the public notice.
The available notice does not state what recommendation the Planning and Zoning Commission made. It also provides no council vote total because the scheduled hearing has not yet occurred.
The council’s eventual action could determine whether the preliminary plat moves forward as proposed, proceeds with changes or is rejected. That decision is distinct from the application itself: the proposal’s filing and scheduled hearing do not amount to a final approval.
What is known — and not yet known
The public notice identifies the site as 6310 S. Orchard St. in Boise, names Boise City Council as the hearing body and sets the proceeding for Aug. 11, 2026, at Boise City Hall. It identifies the application number, acreage, lot count, zoning districts and overlays.
It does not state the commission recommendation, a final council outcome, a vote tally or a construction timetable. No later deadline or next procedural step beyond the scheduled council hearing is identified in the available notice.
