Study Areas » Gateway East
In October 2000 Boise City purchased approximately 325 acres on the west side of I-84 between the Gowen Road and Isaac's Canyon (Eisenman Road) interchanges on I-84. The city anticipates commercial/industrial development of this area in some form and the creation of a gateway entrance to the city in order to achieve certain goals and objectives of the Boise City Comprehensive Plan. The Boise City Council requested that CCDC act as its agent in evaluating the eligibility of the city-owned property and the surrounding areas for formation of an urban renewal area. An eligibility report was prepared that concluded that the Gateway East Study Area met the criteria in Idaho State Code for undertaking an urban renewal project. This report was accepted by the CCDC Board on May 15, 2001 and by the Boise City Council on June 12, 2001. The Boise City Council has directed CCDC to commence preparation of a master plan for the city-owned land and adjacent properties in anticipation of forming an urban renewal district. City Council also provided funding to CCDC for the preparation of a real estate market analysis to be used in development of the master plan. CCDC retained Leland Consulting Group to prepare this study. Completion of the master plan is anticipated in 2002. Click here to view a map of the Gateway East study area.
