A San Francisco development company, Mustang Crossing Eagle LLC, wants to build a nearly 10-acre project with homes and commercial development on the north side of Idaho Highway 44 just east of Park Lane.
The development, called Bronco Acres, would be on 9.8 acres and would include seven commercial buildings, and possibly some residences, on the northeast part of the site.
Mustang Crossing has one potential business to be located in Bronco Acres. Potlatch No. 1 Financial Credit Union, which was established in North Idaho in 1983, is interested in one of the buildings, the application said.
“A branch adjacent to existing residences and future commercial and retail uses will provide a convenient and necessary service nearby,” the application read.
Other uses for the buildings include restaurants, financial institutions, coffee shops, commercial/retail, office and professional uses, and a marketplace with walkable and neighborhood-serving businesses, according to the application.

The northeasterly portion of the project could include a single-family attached residential development or flex space, the application indicated.

A winery north of Eagle now has a license to serve wine on its property, after the Ada County Commission granted approval.
Last year, 3100 Cellars, a 10-acre vineyard on North Artemisa Lane a few miles west of Idaho 55, received a conditional use permit that limited the types of public wine-tasting events the winery could have, as well as hours that wine production could occur. A number of neighbors have objected to having wineries in what they consider residential areas.
Ada County law requires that prospective wineries or other alcohol businesses get approval from 75% of neighboring property owners within a 1,000-foot radius. But the law also allows the Ada County Commission to override that requirement if the business has shown a good-faith effort to get the assent of neighbors, according to a representative from the Ada County Clerk’s Office.
The three commissioners voted unanimously to grant the license on Tuesday, even though the business had not been able to get approval from 75%.
Nampa
In-N-Out Burger wants to open yet another location in the Treasure Valley.
The California-based fast-food chain plans to build a restaurant where TGI Fridays now sits at 16225 N. Marketplace Blvd. in Nampa, next to Wingers and the across the street from Target. It would be the chain’s third in Idaho, with two restaurants in Ada County in the works.
Last year, In-N-Out Burger filed plans to open near the Boise Towne Square mall and at The Village at Meridian.
The new location in Nampa will be built from the ground up, according to an application filed with the city. The existing TGIF building will be demolished and a 3,886-square-foot restaurant will be constructed in its place.

Don Hubble, of Hubble Homes, wants to build 92 single-family homes on 25 acres along the north side of Locust Lane.
Hubble, who filed the application under the name Providence Properties LLC, plans to build the development, called Stoddard Crossing Subdivision, between S. Powerline Road and Southside Boulevard in south Nampa. It would also include a playground and trails throughout the subdivision.
According to the application, the Nampa City Council denied the project in April 2022.
“Between that time and now, the project has made some considerable improvements in design, including enhanced green space, larger lots adjacent to neighbors and some modifications per neighbor comments,” according to the application.
The Nampa Planning and Zoning Commission approved the project in April, which sends it to the City Council for approval.

Electronics manufacturer Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories has opened a large new factory in North Idaho to produce circuit boards.
