Zoning and permitted uses at West Shoup Campus

The City of Twin Falls zones all three buildings of West Shoup Campus, at 608, 664 and 676 Shoup Ave W, Commercial, a district made for retail, service and office uses. This page summarizes what the City's own map and code say. Ask the City before you sign a lease.

Who the space suits

The City describes its Commercial district as one for "a wide range of retail, service, and office uses." Under the City's table of uses, shops, restaurants, professional offices, barber and cosmetology services, self-service laundromats, photography studios and minor medical clinics are permitted uses in that district.

See the directory for the businesses here now. A new business should still confirm its own use with the City before it signs a lease. The tenant resources page lists the offices to call.

Zoning

The City's own zoning map puts all three parcels in the Commercial (COM) district. None of the three lies in a historic, canyon rim, wellhead, professional office or parking overlay on that map. Older listings and leases may call this district C-1 Commercial Highway, the name the City used before its Uniform Development Code took effect on January 1, 2026.

In the Commercial district the code sets a 50 foot height limit, with exceptions listed in the code. Front setbacks are 20 feet on major arterials and 10 feet on other streets, and the Planning and Zoning Commission may adjust them where a street already has established building lines. Side and rear setbacks are not required next to existing commercial use, and are 25 feet next to residential use with four or fewer units per building. Off-street parking and landscaping follow the City's parking and landscaping chapters.

A use marked P in the City's table is permitted by right and needs a Zoning Compliance Permit. A use marked S needs special exception review. A few uses, such as body art studios, are marked Z in the Commercial column, so ask Planning and Zoning what that means for your use. A use that is not listed is decided by the Zoning Officer on a formal request. Ask Planning and Zoning about your exact use before you commit. This page is a summary, not legal advice.

Frontage, parking and utilities

All three buildings are addressed on Shoup Ave W. Paved parking areas lie beside and between the buildings, including along both sides of Halsted St. Ask the campus contact about parking for your suite.

The City's parcel records list City water for all three parcels. The tenant resources page covers electricity, gas, trash and internet.
