City Council Rezone Approval

This month brings most likely our BIGGEST news and progress yet. Last month, we noted that the planning and zoning committee had approved of our plans and design, but we still had the hurdle of city council approval. Well, on October 14th, the city council approved of our rezone and plans for the site. Huge news for all of us here along with our investors as that hurdle does quite a few things for us. 


Upon acquisition last summer, the property was zoned R-1C, you can see the highlights of what is allowed in R-1C here. Currently the city allows up to 12.4 units per acre in that designation. As is, that would allow us to build up to 17 units on the site.


One of the things that the GP team liked about this property from the start is that it’s surrounded by mixed use zoning and the city seemed to miss a couple parcels in this neighbourhood during the rezoning process in 2003. During due diligence, we met with Planning and Zoning along with our project manager several times to get a feel for the possibility of getting this parcel rezoned as mixed use. The city essentially told us from the start that they would support the project, and they’ve made good on that. 


The parcel is now being officially rezoned to MX-1. This designation allows higher density with reasonable setback for the residential nature of the neighborhood. You can read more about the requirements here, but including a potential commercial use was a big part of the city’s support and our team has done that by providing a 9 unit multifamily building and providing live/work options for the townhomes on the north side of the lot facing Ustick. 


What does this all mean for the project as a whole? It allows us to start working, legally and in earnest, on actually dividing the parcel in to 21 separate lots, one of which being for a 9 unit apartment building, creating instant equity for all of the investors involved in the project. 


It is our hope that we will have the parcels officially divided and be moving dirt in the spring. There are certainly other hurdles to overcome, but as a team, we are making good progress and aren’t too far off from our original, optimistic timeline. 


As usual, please feel free to reach out with any questions and let us know if you have any friends or family who might be interested in investing- we are getting close to being fully funded, so it’s likely we will close out the offer soon. 


Happy Investing!

April Arch Street Update: Re-zone, Applications and Design

February Arch Street Update

By Camel Team • February 12, 2025
January has been a great month for Arch street- lots of progress and generally, we’ve been getting good news. For one, the real estate market in Boise has been extremely competitive- our real estate team had 7 listings in January and all of them but one had multiple offers and we were able to either sell them or currently have them under contract for over the asking price. What does that have to do with the Arch Street development? It shows that the hunger and demand for housing in Boise is not waning in any way, even in the dead of winter. As a matter of fact, as of this writing, there are only 7 properties in all of Boise with at least 2 bedrooms and 1300sf that are under $400K. None of them are new and mostly are at least cosmetic fixer uppers. For the type of property and homes with are building with Arch street, we will be able to fill an absolute need in the community. With that being said, we had our neighborhood meeting last week. This is the last requirement before we submit our rezone application and typically there are some interesting conversations at these meetings, to say the least. As a matter of fact, I brought two of my kids and prepped them to pay attention to how adults handle stress, confrontations and uncomfortable questions. We are happy to report that about a dozen neighbors showed up and, while I wouldn’t go as far as to say that we received a standing ovation, the feedback was mostly positive. There were several questions about site plans, density, parking and road improvements, but the overall feeling was that this project would be an improvement to the neighborhood and definitely an improvement to the existing, overgrown and muddy lot. At the moment, we are completing our application for the rezone and finalizing the site plan and layouts of the units. We are working on creating a little more common space for each unit and maximizing the the square footage. We should have some concrete plans and be well on our way to a final plat by Spring. At the moment, this is a draft rendering of the site:

January Arch Street Update

By Robert Frazier • January 6, 2025
Things are moving right along here with the project on Arch street. December was busy finalizing our platting and submitting our application for rezoning. We have gone through five or six iterations for the platting of the project and the number and layouts of the units that we plan to build. As our application is submitted, we are currently at 32 units, though it is likely that we will reduce the total number by a few in order to create a little more greenspace and better functional living spaces for future residents and owners. One of the biggest changes with our current design is that we’ve added a 10 unit multifamily building, which will create several potential exit opportunities. We could possibly hold it collectively as a for-rent product and depreciate it as we collect rents or sell it to another investor. There’s a possibility of condoizing the units and selling them individually platted as well. As part of the re-zoning process, we will hold a neighborhood meeting at the end of January. All of the neighbors must be notified by mail, which is going out this week. The meeting isn’t for feedback, votes or permission of any kind, simply to inform neighbors of the project. As a side note, we have reached out to every property owner within a block and offered to meet and discuss the project with them individually. Beyond that, we are about to pick up our fundraising and marketing efforts again. We are about ⅓ of the way to our goal and expect to have a few more investors jumping in over the next few weeks. We’ll be holding a few more webinars over the next few weeks and would love for you to send any friends or family who might be interested in the project to check those out. We are happy to report that things are moving along smoothly thus far and we are on track with the schedule we have planned from the beginning. As always, please feel free to reach out at any time.

December Arch Street Update

By Alyssa Stadtlander • December 16, 2024
November was another busy month for the Arch Street Development. Now that we have locked in with both an architecture firm and our landscape architect, things are really starting to take shape. One of the biggest benefits of working with Pivot North, our architecture firm, is that they’ve got plenty of manpower to communicate regularly with us, but they also have plenty of experience with projects like ours all over Idaho. This means that they can save us time, money and energy by providing us with existing plans and elevations and we can pick and choose what we like from their archives and they can put together ideas for us based on that feedback. It makes turnaround times much quicker. Some of their existing designs that are heavily influencing our plans are as follows;
