Purpose: "The City of Pocatello recognizes the importance of historic resources and historic preservation to the community. Historic preservation is included in the City's recently updated Comprehensive Plan under Section 11, 'Special Sites or Areas,' and is also referenced in other sections of the plan. The Comprehensive Plan is based on planning concepts that fall under the Smart Growth Planning approach, which includes, but is not limited to, support for mixed use areas, pedestrian friendly neighborhoods and shopping areas, and a variety of housing types. Awareness of the community's history and preservation of historic resources will help the Comprehensive Plan's goals. This plan is intended to provide the City of Pocatello and the Historic Preservation Commission with specific community preservation goals and objectives and provide the step-by-step guidance to achieve them." Developing a Historic Preservation Plan: "In 2016, the Pocatello Historic Preservation Commission retained TAG Historical Research & Consulting (TAG) to assist with the development of a historic preservation plan. The project was broken into two phases, Phase 1, completed in 2016, was the data collection phase, which provided the history of preservation activities in the community and provided general recommendations for elements to include in the historic preservation plan. In Phase 2, comments and suggestions for the plan were received from members of the PHPC as well as the results of of a public meeting in March 2018, where comments on the preservation program were accepted. The comments and suggestions were reviewed and have been incorporated into the plan." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Idaho State Historic Preservation Office, State Historical Society, administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants division, National Park Service, Department of the Interior (grant number P17AF00026).
