Maverik files new plans for Fairview and Cole corner in Boise

Maverik is trying again at the southwest corner of Cole Road and Fairview Avenue in West Boise. BoiseDev reports the company is back with a new City of Boise planning application for 7415 W. Fairview Ave after earlier plans from 2018 and 2019 went quiet.

City records show the current filing is PLN26-01026, submitted Nov. 5, 2026, and listed as in review under Concept Review. That's important because this is still an early step. The project is real enough to be in the city's system, but the layout on file today may still change after staff comments.

What's proposed now

According to Boise Builds and the city record, the application proposes a convenience store with fueling stations on a 1.5-acre parcel zoned MX-3.

The conceptual site plan shows:

• A 5,637-square-foot building
• About 31 parking stalls
• Fueling stations on site

The applicant or representative listed on the filing is The Land Group, Inc. Boise Builds shows Maverik Inc. as the owner on the application form.

For people who know the area, this is one of those corners that has been talked about for years without much visible movement, so seeing a fresh filing is the main news here.

Why this isn't a brand-new idea

BoiseDev tied the new filing back to earlier efforts on the same corner. City records help fill in that history.

A 2015 Boise planning record identified the broader site at the southwest corner of Cole and Fairview as the former Cole Elementary School property. A 2015 ACHD staff report for an earlier commercial subdivision said that proposal covered about 6.6 acres and named Maverik as the anchor tenant at the corner.

Then in 2016, Boise approved a design review at the same address for a single-story 5,505-square-foot convenience store with 10 fuel islands. That earlier round never turned into the finished project people expected to see, which is why this new filing stands out.

BoiseDev also noted that since those 2018 and 2019 proposals, Boise has adopted a new zoning code that puts limits on gas-station design and placement. So even though the corner has a long project history, this version will be reviewed under a different rulebook than the older applications.

What happens next

Right now, the project is in Concept Review. That means city staff feedback comes first, and the concept plan on file may be revised afterward.

As of the Boise Builds record:

• The application was filed Nov. 5, 2026
• Its status is In review under Concept Review
• No public hearing date was listed
• The conceptual site plan may change after staff feedback

So if you drive by that corner and wonder whether construction is about to start, there isn't anything in the record yet that says that. This is still in the early planning stage.

My take

For nearby homeowners, this is the kind of project you'll feel in everyday routines more than in headline terms. A convenience store with fuel changes how a corner functions. Think turning movements, lighting, activity levels, and how people enter and leave a busy intersection. If you live close, that's usually where the practical concerns are.

For buyers looking in West Boise, I'd file this under "future context." It probably won't change your home search by itself, but it should factor into how you think about the immediate area around Cole and Fairview. Also worth noting: Boise Builds lists other recent townhome-related activity nearby, including a five-townhome project about 530 feet away and a variance tied to a townhome rezone about 0.2 miles away. That tells me this part of West Boise is continuing to evolve in several directions at once, not just with this one filing.
