CHAPTER 6 - LAND USE
6.3 Land Use Designations
Transitional Residential
Residential development that provides for a transition of density within the
planning area while keeping in context the density, scaling and lot sizes of
existing or proposed uses. Commonly requires changes in lot dimensions and
scaling, see specific planning area text for a complete description.
Residential Six Plus
Suitable primarily for multi-family housing including apartments, town homes and
duplexes within the urbanized setting adjacent to designated transit corridors.
6.7 Implementation Strategies
(6.7a) Preserve the natural features and resources of Eagle;
(6.7b) Establish land use patterns and zoning districts that do not exhaust
available services such as sewer, water, police, fire, recreational areas, highways
and transportation systems.; and
(6.7c) Provide for a broad spectrum of housing types including apartments,
townhouses, condominiums, single family attached, manufactured homes,
affordable and subsidized housing and large acreage developments.
(6.7j) Farm related uses and activities should be protected from land use conflicts
or interference created by residential, commercial, or industrial development. The
Idaho Right To Farm Act should be promoted.
CHAPTER 7 - NATURAL RESOURCES AND HAZARD AREAS
7.9 Goal
Special concern and attention should be given to the preservation of fish, wildlife,
water resources, air quality, agriculture, open space and recreation-nature areas
when implementing planning and zoning decisions.
CHAPTER 8 - TRANSPORTATION
8.6 Implementation Strategies
(8.6a) Work in conjunction with the Ada County Highway District (ACHD),
Idaho Transportation Department (lTD), and Ada Planning Association (APA) to
classify roadways on the City of Eagle Transportation/Pathway Network Maps #1
and #2 incorporated into this Comprehensive Plan by reference. The Maps are to
Page 8 of 35
K:IPlanning DeptlEagle ApplicationslSUBSI20061Eaglefield Estates II PUD ccf.doc

b. The most recent Regional Transportation Plan for Ada County of record is
adopted by reference as part of the City of Eagle Comprehensive Plan.
c. Periodically review the street classification system and work with ACHD and
the Community Planning Association to amend the street classification system as
needed. Any street reclassifications shall be contingent upon an analysis of
existing street configuration, existing land uses, lotting patterns, location of
structures, impact on neighborhoods and area-wide transportation needs.
Upgrading of residential streets to collector and arterial status shall be discouraged
and shall only occur where a significant community-wide need can be identified
as part of the adopted Regional Transportation Plan. (See Map 5.1)
d. When review land use amendments, zone changes, master plans, conditional
uses and other significant entitlement requests, take into consideration the impact
of the project on street levels of service. The City's preferred standards shall be
those identified for new streets in ACHD's Development Policy manual, or its
successor. Service level impacts shall be minimized through project
modifications, traffic management plans, street improvement plans or other
means.
i. New developments shall be required to stub access to adjacent underdeveloped
parcels, where appropriate.
j. All new developments shall be reviewed for appropriate opportunities to
connect to local roads and collectors in adjacent developments.
k. Develop transit friendly corridors along State Highway 20/26 and State
Highway 44.
m. A collector street system shall be pursued within each square mile of
development adequate to serve the density of development. Suggestions shall be
forwarded to ACHD for planning and adoption in the TIP.
n. Support the access restriction policies of the Ada County Highway District.
o. Discourage direct lot access to parcels abutting collector streets.
p. Limit access to all arterial streets.

Chapter 6 - Land Use
6.2 Goals
SustainabiIity at build-out (2025): Ensure the ability for the city to continue to fund,
improve and support itself (including infrastructure) without the use of building permit
fees, impact fees and zoning fees.
Identify "Activity Centers": Identify areas that, due to the nature of existing uses,
anticipated uses, and/or transportation corridors, will lend themselves to increased activity
and non-residential use while preserving larger areas as residential neighborhoods.
Preserving Regional Transportation Corridors (State Highway 16 & 44):
Preserve the function of regionally significant roadways traveling through the City while
ensuring compatibility with land uses and design standards of the City.
Increased Employment Opportunities: Identify areas that will provide significant
employment opportunities to the residents of the City of Eagle, thereby supporting the City
as a place to live, work, and recreate
a. Maintain a Vision Map that depicts opportunities for creating and enhancing
activity centers and linkages between planning areas and the existing City. (See
Map 2.1)
b. Maintain a Future Land Use Map that encourages higher densities around
activity centers and transit routes but also provides for large residential areas that
continue to promote the rural character of the City of Eagle (See Map 6.1)
c. Use smaller planning areas to help guide development in the western planning
area. (See Map 6.2)
d. Non-residential uses should be limited to designated areas, with scaling and
intensity paramount to the approval of these uses.
e. Special design treatments shall be required to provide compatibility of new
development with existing development such as building orientation, increased
setbacks, height limitations, size restrictions design requirements, fencing,
landscaping or other methods as determined through the development review
process.
f. Commercial and subdivision development within the City will be subject to
Design Review.
g. The creation of single use commercial and office districts should be
discouraged, while uses that serve a variety of uses shall be encouraged.
h. New mid-block commercial development should be discouraged along arterial
and collectors unless it is specified in the plan and meets the principles of New
Urbanism and/or provides cross access between adjacent commercial parcels.
Existing mid-block commercial uses of a marginal nature shall be encouraged to
convert to residential uses.
6.4 E Floating Feather Planning Area
The Floating Feather Planning Area is designated as residential with limited
ancillary uses to be incorporated as allowed by the planned unit development
Page 15 of 35
K:\Planning DeptlEagle ApplicationslSUBSl2006IEaglefield Estates II PUD ccfdoc
standards. This area should provide trails, open space, and parks in conjunction
with varied housing options. The overall density of the area is 1-2 units per acre.
6.4E.l Uses
The land use and development policies specific to the Floating Feather Planning
Area include the following: Integration of mixed residential lot sizes at an overall
density of 1-2 units per acre;
Ancillary neighborhood commercial and retail uses that focus and serve the
immediate Floating Feather Planning Area;
Setbacks from streams, irrigation and drains for trails and open space;
Use of transitional lot sizes and clustering when new development abuts existing
subdivisions, business and office use to the south;
School siting in the area shall focus on areas with higher densities to decrease
busing concerns, preference will be given to siting elementary schools in this area.
Densities around school sites shall not exceed 3 to 4 units per acre.
6.4E.2 Access
All uses shall rely on internal local road circulation and a proper street hierarchy
to safely and efficiently move traffic through the area without forcing local trips
onto the regional roadway network.
At the western edge of this area, Linder Road will merge with the proposed
east/west boulevard and should include street trees, separated sidewalks and
landscaped medians; sufficient right-of-way and setbacks should be preserved to
facilitate the construction of this roadway.
6.4E.3 Design
This area should be recognized as the signature residential area for the Western
Planning Area. The integration of varying lot sizes and uses should be seamless
with continuity of street design, open space, trails and housing through out that
area.
Lot configuration and housing sizes should be mixed throughout the area to
provide a variety of housing options within a single neighborhood or
development.
6.4E.4 Issues
The main concerns in the development of the area are the integration of varying
lot sizes and housing styles. The vision for the area is contingent on the
integration of uses and providing a flow of housing units throughout the area to
avoid creating defined separation from estate areas and patio home areas, for
example. Further, the provision of open space and trails through the area should
be key to the development approval of the area.
6.4C Park Lane Planning Area
The Park Lane Planning Area is designated as mixed use combining community
commercial, professional office, and a variety of residential densities. The vision
for the area is to recognize the activity center created by Eagle High School and
Page 16 of 35
K:IPlanning DeptlEagle ApplicationsISUBSl2006\Eaglefield Estates II PUD ccf.doc
existing development approved by Ada County and to provide compatible land
uses at densities that accommodate pedestrian scale design and future mass transit.
6.4C.l Uses
The area located west of Linder Road and north of State Highway 44 shall provide
for high density residential including apartments, town homes and patio homes,
transitioning with decreasing density northward with 1-2 units per acre along
northern perimeter. Internal circulation is essential to the development of this area;
a loop/frontage road similar to Old Valley Road should be created. Uses should
focus on this roadway (not State Street) with berming and wide setbacks to be
used to buffer any residential use from the regional transportation network.
6.4C.3 Access
Access to and through should be limited to existing roads (Old Valley Road, Park
Lane and Linder Road); no direct access from State Highway 44 shall be
permitted unless a new access point is designated by the State of Idaho for Eagle
Island State Park.
The area to the north of State Highway 44 should require the construction of a
frontage road (similar to Old Valley Road) that removes individual property
access to State Highway 44, this high density area shall provide internal
circulation and connectivity to the residential areas to the north.
Cross-access agreements and shared service roads should be encouraged
throughout the area.
6.4C.4 Issues
If individual lot access is allowed to State Highway 44, the ability to function as a
node, encouraging both pedestrian and vehicular traffic, will be lost.

2.6 Eagle hereby acknowledges that the attached typical housing styles and lot layout plan
(Exhibit "A") represents an example of the Property Owners' current concept for the site and
understands and agrees that changes in that concept will likely occur but that the changes must
substantially conform to the concept plan and related designs herein. The Property Owner also
understands and agrees that any changes regarding development of the site must be in
conformance with the "Conditions of Development" stated herein.
2.7 Prior to issuance of any building permits, the Property Owner shall provide proof of adequate

E. DISCUSSION:
NOTE: STAFF RECOGNIZED THAT THE FOLLOWING ANALYSIS WAS COMPLEX
AND STAFF PROVIDED A VERBAL OVERVIEW DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING
FOR THIS APPLICATION.
. The Eagle Soaring 2025 Plan delineates two land use designation for this property High
Density Residential and Transitional Residential. At the time that the Soaring 2025 Plan
was drafted it was intended that a new collector road would be constructed from Linder
Road to the existing Moon Valley Road and State Street intersection and that the
alignment of the collector would serve as the division between the High Density
Residential Designation and the Transitional Residential Designation. This application
reflects these land use assumptions.
. 5.5-acres (49.7% of the site) is designated High Density Residential with a density of
3.82-units per acre, 21-units. These 21-units represent 53% of the units in the
development.
. 5.58-acres (50.3% of the site) is designated as Transitional Residential and is intended to
provide an area that allows for a gradual decrease in density between the High Density
Residential designation located along State Street and the Residential Two designation
further north. The applicant has proposed 18-units in this area which represent 46% of the
lots within the development.
Page 21 of 35
K:IPlanning DeptlEagle ApplicationsISUBSI2006\Eaglefield Estates II PUD ccLdoc
. Similar to Eaglefield Estates to the west, the applicant is requesting two zones a MU
(mixed use zone) and R-4 zoning designation with diminished lot sizes and set back to
accommodate the proposed mix of lot sizes. The development agreement associated with
the rezone for this site will limit the density of the entire development to 3.71-units/acre.
54% of the lots as proposed do not meet the minimum lot size in the base zones as
proposed therefore an offsetting increase in open space has been provided for these lots.
. The applicants proposed lot sizes and setbacks by development area are show below, these
setbacks are in keeping with the same product type in Eaglefied Estates to the west of this
site. (See Exhibit 1 for product area location):

. Eagle City Code 8-6-6-3, requires all final development plans be reviewed by the Planning
and Zoning Commission as well as the City Council. This is partly to allow for additional
City Review for flexibility needed for long-range and large PUD's.
. The proposed development includes 25.7% of the site as common area open space
including trails and gathering areas and landscape buffers.
. Only 75% of all lots within the development have direct access to the proposed open
space. 60% of the four-plex lots have direct access to the open space.
. Open fencing such as wrought iron should be used throughout the development to increase
the open feel of the area and reduce the closing off of reduced size lots.
. The following comments are specific to "The Gables II" (See Exhibit 1 for product area
location):
o Joint access and building pads should be considered to ensure that the area does
not become over powered by pavement and the orientation of the house do not
result in a monotonous look; and.
o Building pads should be considered to determine building orientation and spacing;
and
o Additional architectural variations should be shown for this area; and
o This area will require a design review application prior to building permit; and
Page 22 of 35
K:IPlanning DeptlEagle ApplicationslSUBSI20061Eaglefield Estates II PUD ccf.doc
o Maintenance for this area should be completed through a sub-home owners
association controlling both landscaping and building maintenance.
. In "The Cedars II" (See Exhibit 1 for product area location) to diminish the feeling of a
garage dominated streetscape this area should be conditioned to include alley access as
well as shared access and side entry garages.
. The applicant is proposing the main entrance to this development from Linder Road. A
portion of the entry feature and landscaping is located on the adjacent property to the
north. The adjacent property is not included in this application and is not under the
jurisdictional authority of the City of Eagle. The applicant should provide documentation
from the appropriate property owners granting easements to construct and maintain this
access point and buffer prior to the City Clerk signing the final plat for the development.
. The applicant's landscape plan shows landscape improvements and the removal of access
points on the Reeser property located to the north of this site. This property is outside of
the jurisdictional authority of the City of Eagle. The applicant should provide
documentation from the appropriate property owners granting easements to construct and
maintain this landscape area and agreeing to the removal of the access point or submit a
new landscape plan and preliminary plat removing these items.
. Provide a revised preliminary plat and landscape plan showing the sidewalk along Linder
Road meandering slightly while ensuring compliance with the Americans with Disabilities
Act.
. Similar to Eaglefield Estates to the west of this project, vertical curb should be provided in
areas with alley loaded lots.
. The applicant is requesting a reduce landscape buffer along Lot 8, Block 3 to
accommodate the retention of the existing house. The landscape buffer in this area would
be reduced from 50-feet to 20-feet. The applicant is proposing the 20-foot buffer within
an easement on Lot 8, Block 3, and would not be contained in a common lot of the
development. For maintenance purposes staff would prefer that the landscape buffer be
contained within a common lot thus Lot 8, Block 3, would be reduced to 11,309-square
feet.

preliminary development plan, and preliminary plat (CU-04-06/PPUD-02-06/PPI2-06) and based
upon the information provided concludes that the proposed development is in accordance with the City
of Eagle Comprehensive Plan and established goals and objectives because:
1. That the proposed PUD is in the public interest, advances the general welfare of the
community and neighborhood, and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the

sizes, usable open space with pathways interconnected with the City pathway network and
adjacent development.
2. That the development be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to be harmonious
and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity
and how such use will not change the essential character of the same area because;

which is shown on the Western Area Plan Map. The surrounding properties are in the process
of currently being developed at a density not to exceed 3.71-units per acre maximum.
3. That the development will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighborhood
uses because;

patterns that would be related to a residential subdivision development. The proposed
dwelling units on the site will be compatible with existing residential units in the area.
5. That the development will be served adequately by essential public facilities such as highways,
streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer, and
schools because;

All central services are available to be extended to the site, as noted within the letters provided
by the agencies having jurisdiction over the site. Development of sewer, water, drainage,
streets and other urban services will be provided at the developer's expense. The addition of
more residences to the area may help facilitate the construction of new buildings within the
School system.
6. That the development will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for
public facilities and services because:
All public facilities and services are supplied by the developer and must be approved at the
time of installation and before acceptance by the sewer, water or highway district.
7. That the development is provided with parks, ponds, open areas, areas of special interest,
floodplain preservation, and/or other special features which would not typically be provided in
a non-PUD proposal because;
