This is a point data set representing key activity centers throughout Boise.

Three types of Mixed-Use Activity Centers are identified on the Land Use Map: Regional, Community, and Neighborhood. Activity centers vary in their characteristics, size, location, mix of uses, and density range.

• Regional Activity Centers serve Boise residents as well as residents of the surrounding region. Each of Boise’s regional activity centers is unique in its scale, development intensity, and mix of uses. They typically include large-scale employment and retail uses, high-density residential, and mixed-use development.

• Community Activity Centers are intended to meet the needs of a group of neighborhoods or the entire community. They are characterized as destinations that include grocery store anchors, moderate to high-density housing, office and service uses, and mixed-use development.

• Neighborhood Activity Centers are intended to serve one or more neighborhoods and are characterized by small-scale retail and service uses that may include mixed use or attached housing opportunities. These centers are characterized by a compact scale and pedestrian-friendly design that encourages pedestrian access from adjacent neighborhoods.

The data set was created from guidance out of Blueprint Boise, the City of Boise’s comprehensive plan. The accuracy is 100%. Public, staff, P&Z, and City Council reviewed during the Comprehensive Plan creation process. This data was created by the City of Boise. This data is updated only with an associated CPA Application followed by P&Z Commission and City Council hearings.
