R-1 parcels require large lot assemblies for subdivision; best suited for estate-home flips or long-hold land banking in Area of Impact.
R-2 is the primary infill district for ADU plays and lot-split opportunities in Old Town Kuna; verify ADU standards at KCC 5-1-6 before underwriting.
R-4 supports attached-product infill; confirm dimensional standards at library.municode.com/id/kuna before site plan.
R-6 is the primary multifamily district; verify parking ratios and setback requirements before acquisition.
R-8 parcels are rare in Kuna; most high-density development occurs through PUD overlay rather than base R-8 zoning.
C-1 along Avenue B and Avenue G in Old Town Kuna supports mixed-use infill; verify parking requirements and FAR limits before underwriting.
C-2 parcels along major corridors (e.g., Meridian Road) support larger commercial or mixed-use projects; confirm traffic impact study requirements.
LI parcels near railroad corridor support warehouse/distribution plays; verify truck access and loading dock requirements.
A-zoned parcels in Area of Impact are long-horizon land plays; confirm annexation timeline and future land use designation before acquisition.
PUD overlay is the primary tool for higher-density residential or mixed-use projects; expect 6-12 month entitlement timeline and public hearing process.
Floodplain parcels require elevation certificates and may face higher insurance costs; verify FEMA map status at msc.fema.gov before underwriting.
Setback encroachments require variance; confirm buildable area before site plan to avoid costly redesigns.
Height limits constrain multifamily and mixed-use density; PUD overlay may allow height bonuses in exchange for public benefits.
Parking requirements drive site layout and cost; confirm ratios before land acquisition to avoid undersized parcels.
