Are you aware of the Kootenai County zone amendment ORA22-0001? It will change approximately 25,000 acres from rural to agriculture on the Coeur d’Alene reservation. It is, essentially, a downzone; eliminating the ability to subdivide. The tribe has asked the county to do this so the taxpayers are footing the bill. The planning commission has recommended approval and the BOCC will hear this. A date has not been set. The tribe is exempt from county land use regulation so tribal lands would be unaffected. Only private property on the reservation will lose the ability to subdivide.
