Ketchum Revisits Building Height Limits | Boise News

Ketchum’s city leaders are rethinking building height limits after new homes—technically legal—shock residents with their size. Proposals aim to cap most residential buildings at 27 feet, with roof sections up to 32 feet, while hillside lots may still hit 35 feet to accommodate terrain and essential amenities. Downtown zones could ban fifth floors in retail areas and restrict fourth floors to community housing or specific lots. Residents argue the changes threaten functional family homes on slopes, while planners seek balance between aesthetics, livability, and growth through ongoing public input.
