In the Commercial column it marks three of them P, permitted by right: Dwellings, Multi-Dwelling Unit (5 or more units); Dwelling, Caretaker Unit; and Dwellings, Mixed Use Building. Detached houses, townhomes and buildings of two to four units are not marked in that column. So the campus can hold residential uses as well as businesses, within what the code allows. Ask Planning and Zoning about any change of use first. ## Who the space suits The City describes its Commercial district as one for "a wide range of retail, service, and office uses." For businesses, 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](https://westshoupcampus.com/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](https://westshoupcampus.com/tenants/) lists the offices to call. ## Zoning None of the parcels lies in a historic, canyon rim, wellhead, professional office or parking overlay on the City's map, and none is split between two districts. 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](https://westshoupcampus.com/tenants/) covers electricity, gas, trash and internet. ## Getting there 608, 664 and 676 Shoup Ave W, Twin Falls, ID 83301 On the north side of Shoup Ave W, from Martin St on the east to just west of Halsted St, with Clouchek Ave behind the buildings.
