STAFF ANALYSIS PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT:
A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN
REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL:
• The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map(adopted 02-13-07) designates this site as:
Mixed Use
Suitable primarily for a variety of uses such as limited office, limited commercial, and
residential developments. Uses should complement uses within the Central Business District
(CBD). Development within this land use designation should be required to proceed through
the PUD and/or Development Agreement process, see specific planning area text for a
complete description.
Scenic Corridor
An Overlay designation that is intended to provide significant setbacks from major corridors
and natural features through the city. These areas may require berming, enhanced landscaping,
detached meandering pathways and appropriate signage controls.
Page 6 of 32
K:1Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\200TMillpark ccf.doc
Chapter 5—Economic Development
5.1 Background
The economic development component of the Comprehensive Plan discusses the
economics and employment in Eagle. The city encourages appropriate economic
development while retaining those attributes that give Eagle its special living and
working environment.
5.5 Implementation Strategies
g. Encourage commercial growth adjacent to the Central Business District and
discourage isolated commercial development in outlying areas.
k. Enforce the sizing and scaling of commercial and mixed use areas as specified
in the land use chapter.
q. Encourage context sensitive design of business and employment centers to
complement Eagle's rural identity.
Chapter 6—Land Use
6.1 Background and Existing Conditions
Managing growth and channeling it into orderly community development is the
key element of land use planning. Unplanned growth results in undesirable land
use patterns. Areas within the City and within the Impact Area are given land use
designations which are depicted on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map,
hereinafter referred to as the "Land Use Map".
The Land Use Map is an integral part of the Comprehensive Plan. It serves as a
planning policy document and planning tool that will assist the City in sustaining
responsible growth and development to ensure that evolving land use patterns
remain consistent with goals, objectives and strategies of the Plan.
6.6 Land Use Implementation Strategies
k. Protect gravity flow irrigation systems including canals, laterals and ditches to
assure continued delivery of irrigation water to all land serviced by such
systems,to protect irrigation systems as a long range economical method for
water delivery and to coordinate surface water drainage to be compatible with
irrigation systems.
w. Limit non-residential uses to designated areas, with scaling and intensity
paramount to the approval of these uses.
x. Require design treatments to provide compatibility of new development with
existing development by considering such issues as building orientation,
increased setbacks, height limitations, size restrictions, design requirements,
fencing, landscaping or other methods as determined through the development
review process.
y. Subject to Design Review all commercial and subdivision development within
the City
Page 7 of 32
K:1Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS12007\Millpark ccf.doc
6.8 Land Use Sub Areas
6.8.2 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
existing development approved by Ada County and to provide compatible land
uses at densities that accommodate pedestrian scale design and future mass transit.
a. Use
The land use and development policies specific to the Park Lane Planning
Area include the following:
3. Flint Drive shall be preserved primarily as a residential street while
properties abutting State Street should include a mix of residential uses,
limited retail and office uses that promote trip capturing.
4. The roadway network along State Street east of Park Lane should be
designed to provide internal circulation with no individual lot access to
State Street. A cross access agreement with limited access points at Park
Lane and at State Street, in alignment with the future Eagle Island State
Park entrance, is necessary to provide access to the retail uses.
b. Design
2. Flint Estates Area:
The Flint Estates area adjacent to State Highway 44 should be designed
to provide limited retail uses that encourage pedestrian circulation from
the residential and high school areas, and to compliment the existing
mixed use areas at State Street and Park Lane(Camille Beckman).
Street trees, benches and sidewalks are encouraged within the Park Lane
Planning Area.
Common parking areas at the sides of buildings and joint parking
agreements should be encouraged so walking distances between
buildings are minimized and provide a pedestrian scale to the area.
Activity and building orientation should focus on internal circulation
roads rather than the regional transportation network. Flint Drive is to
remain primarily a residential roadway.
On-street parking should be encouraged where sufficient right of way is
available.
Signage should be done as a master sign plan rather than individual signs
located along State Highway 44/State Street.
Transitional residential densities and design elements (berms, fences,
etc.) should be used to provide buffering to residential areas to the east
and north of the mixed use area.
c. Access
Access to and through should be limited to existing roads (Old Valley
Road, Park Lane and Linder Road); no direct access from State Street/
Page 8 of 32
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\200"7\Millpark ccfdoc
Highway 44 shall be permitted unless a new access point is designated by
the State of Idaho for Eagle Island State Park.
Cross-access agreements and shared service roads should be encouraged
throughout the area.
Chapter 12—Community Design
12.1 Background and Vision
Entryway corridors are arterial roadways that introduce both visitors and residents
to Eagle. City entryways include State Highways 44 (State Street and Alternate
Route), State Highway 16, and 55 (Eagle Road). The landscaping(or lack
thereof), commercial signage and building character of these entrances provide the
first, and often the most lasting, impressions of the entire community. The City of
Eagle has the opportunity to improve the appearance of the entryways by
establishing guidelines for development and redevelopment that occurs along
these entryway corridors.
Development will occur in the downtown as well as along arterials. City growth
and increased traffic levels on Highway 44 and Highway 55 will stimulate
demand for new development along these entrances. These same corridors have
great potential for more intensive mixed-use development.
12.2 Goal
Strive to create an aesthetically pleasing community and protect the unique natural
beauty and small town character of the City.
Preserving Regional Transportation Corridors (State Highway 16 & 44): Preserve
the function of regionally significant roadways through the City while ensuring
compatibility with land uses and design standards of the City.
12.4 Implementation Strategies
g. Discourage excessively large single entity businesses that would jeopardize
the competitive business environment.
j. Develop buffer and transition zones between conflicting types of land use.
y. Ensure that commercial development is scaled appropriately to the intended
regional, community and neighborhood use.
z. Limit non-residential uses to designated areas and make scaling and intensity
of use paramount criteria during the review and approval process.
cc. State Highway 44, State Highway 20/26, State Highway 16 and the proposed
east west collector are designed as scenic corridors requiring landscaped
setback and separated meanderings sidewalks.
Chapter 13 —Implementation
13.5 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
From time to time, changing conditions will result in a need for comprehensive
plan amendments.
The Land Use Planning Act provides for amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
The City Council or any group or person may petition the City Planning and
Zoning Commission for a plan amendment at any time. On its own initiative, the
Page 9 of 32
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\20071Millpark ccfdoc
City Planning and Zoning Commission may also originate an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan. However,the City Planning and Zoning Commission may
recommend amendments to the Comprehensive Plan to the City Council not more
frequently than every six(6)months; however text amendments may be
recommended at any time.
13.7 Implementation Strategies
c. Any person applying for a Comprehensive Plan amendment shall submit a
justification letter for the amendment which shall include the following:
1. A specific description of the change being requested.
2. Specific information on any property involved.
3. A description of the condition or situation which warrants a change
being made in the Plan.
4. A description of the public benefit(s)that would occur from such a
change in the Plan and an explanation of why the public would need
any such benefit(s).
5. An explanation of why no other solutions to the condition or situation
which warrants a change in the Plan are possible or reasonable under
the current policies of the Plan.
6. A proposed development plan for any land involved if a specific
development is planned at the time the request for the amendment is
being made.
7. An analysis showing the estimated impact on infrastructure expected
to occur by any proposed change.
8. Any other data and information required by the City for their
evaluation of the request.
APPENDIX 1 - GLOSSARY
Cross Access Agreement
An agreement between adjacent property owners in which internal connections
are provided between parking areas in order to improve traffic flow on the streets
by minimizing the number of access points needed. Cross access agreements are
typically incremental as a condition of approval for new development. The first
one to develop will be required to make an irrevocable offer of cross access and
design their site to accommodate future connections. When adjacent owners
develop, they will be conditioned to reciprocate with similar cross access
agreements.
Gateway
A major corridor or entry into the City of Eagle that will tend to create an initial
positive impression of the City for visitors. Gateway streets should be subject to
enhanced design review standards such as signage, landscaping, architecture, and
vehicular access.
Internal Circulation
The movement of traffic into and out of properties and local roadway systems
without the need to enter onto arterials and regional roadway networks.
Page 10 of 32
K:1Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2007\Millpark ccf.doc
Limited Retail
Establishments providing retail services, occupying facilities of 10,000 square feet
or less. Typical establishments provide for specialty retailing or retailing oriented
to the surrounding vicinity.
Trip Capturing
The design of transit, commercial,retail and office areas so that patrons are able to
accomplish multiple daily tasks with one vehicle trip as opposed to having to use
multiple vehicle trips to go to several single use areas. This is opposite of trip
generation which is a use that creates a new independent vehicle trip for a specific
use or a use that is a single destination site.

D. DISCUSSION:
• The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates this site as Mixed Use and Scenic
Corridor. The applicant is requesting a Comprehensive Plan text amendment to language
within the Land Use chapter for the Park Lane Planning Sub-Area, Flint Estates Area.
The applicant is requesting the following changes be made to the 2007 Comprehensive Plan
text within Chapter 6 - Land Use, Park Lane Planning Area, 6.8.2(a)(3) and Land Use, 6.8.2
(b)(2), Flint Estates Area with the following text to be removed shown with strike-through and
text to be added shown with underline:
Eagle City Comprehensive Plan Section 6.8.2, "Park Lane Planning Area", (a) Uses, (3) is
hereby amended to delete the strike-thru text and add the underlined text as follows:
Flint Drive shall be preserved primarily as a residential street while properties abutting State
Street should include a mix of residential uses,limited-retail commercial uses limited to lease
spaces no larger than 30,000 square feet and office uses that promote trip capturing. The
properties abutting State Street shall be reviewed and conditioned by the City through the use
of a development agreement at the time of rezone.
Eagle City Comprehensive Plan Section 6.8.2, "Park Lane Planning Area", (b)Design, (2)
"Flint Estates Area":
The Flint Estates area adjacent to State Highway 44 should be designed to provide
limited retail commercial uses that encourage pedestrian circulation from the residential and
high school areas, and to compliment the existing mixed use areas at State Street and Park
Lane (Camille Beckman)and planned new residential uses adiacent to the north.
• Under the "Comprehensive Plan Amendment" section (Chapter 13, Section 13.7 (c) (3))
within the 2000 Comprehensive Plan the applicant must show, "the condition or situation
which warrants a change being made in the plan." The applicant's justification letter contends
that the limited retail facility 10,000 square foot limitation appears to be an unnecessary
limiting factor based upon the consideration that the benefits to the City of allowing a 30,000
square foot building far outweigh any potential negative impacts intended to be eliminated or
reduced by the 10,000 square foot limitation. The applicant also contends that the changes will
allow for a more flexible and stable commercial environment as long as a development
agreement is required so the City can ensure a quality compatible site layout and design.
• The "Comprehensive Plan Amendment" section (Chapter 13, Section 13.7 (c) (4)) seeks to
identify "the public benefit that would occur from such a change in the plan." The
justification letter provided by the applicant states the change will allow for a more flexible
and stable commercial environment provided that the text amendment includes language
requiring a development agreement allowing the City to assure quality compatible site layout
and design. The applicant submitted a proposed development agreement and staff has
reviewed the applicant's version and is recommending additional conditions to be placed in
the development agreement(noted below under Staff Recommendation for the Comprehensive
Plan Text Amendment and Rezone below).
• The "Comprehensive Plan Amendment" section (Chapter 13, Section 13.7 (c) (5)) asks for
"An explanation of why no other solutions to the condition or situation which warrants a,
change in the Plan are possible or reasonable under the current policies of the Plan". The
justification letter provided by the applicant states there are no other solutions to allow
Page 16 of 32
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\20071Millpark ccf.doc
additional square footage other than to allow the larger sizes of buildings with a Development
Agreement on a case by case basis and use the current Comprehensive Plan language on this
item as a guide versus a law set in stone. The letter goes on to state that the utilization of a
development agreement is more reasonable in cases such as this one rather than making
changes to the Comprehensive Plan as the need arises.
• The "Comprehensive Plan Amendment" section (Chapter 13, Section 13.7 (c) (7)) asks for
"An analysis showing the estimated impact on infrastructure expected to occur by any
proposed change". The applicant indicated within the justification letter that, in there opinion
there is no infrastructure impacts. The same total of square footage of "Limited Retail
Establishments" could occupy this land if it remains limited retail with a 10,000 square foot
maximum lease spaces or if it is changed as proposed to allow commercial uses limited to
lease spaces no larger than 30,000 square feet. With that being said the City should be
cognizant of the fact that this area was planned to contain a neighborhood center for trip
capturing and serving residents within the immediate area and there is residential development
adjacent to the north. Smaller buildings may be perceived that they have less of an impact on
the residential development to the north and will not encourage larger retail space that might
possibly generate additional trips to the area. It is staff's recommendation that a Conditional
Use Permit for buildings larger than 15,000 square feet in size be required so that impacts to
the surrounding area can be evaluated and mitigated.
The justification letter goes on to state that the traffic will likely lessen because if a larger lease
area is permitted as proposed more neighborhood services will be available thereby decreasing
trip lengths for those patrons wanting to shop and/or work and do business at such larger lease
businesses. The 30,000 square foot allowance is about one half the size of the Albertson's
store which is located in an area which allows for trip generation due to the use serving more
of a region, since this development requires smaller buildings it will provide for trip capturing
therefore encouraging pedestrian circulation from the residential and high school areas.
• The applicant is requesting that restaurants with a drive thru be permitted within in this
development. Restaurants with a drive thru are a prohibited use within a MU (Mixed Use)
zone. The development agreement provided by the applicant indicates the development
agreement is being used in lieu of a PUD which is permitted by Eagle City Code. The
development agreement also indicates per Eagle City Code that up to up to ten percent (10%)
of the gross land area within a planned unit development (PUD) may be directed to other
commercial, office, public and quasi-public uses that are not allowed within the land use
district; provided, that there is a favorable finding by the council. Since the applicant is
requesting a development agreement in lieu of PUD and proposed a Condition of
Development to be placed in the development agreement to address the design standards for a
restaurant with a drive thru staff recommends that Condition of Development #2.6 within the
applicant's version of the development agreement be incorporated into the final version of the
development agreement. To ensure compliance with the Conditions of Development in
relation to building design the applicant should establish an architectural control committee
(ACC)as a component of the development's CC&R's.
• During the visioning process for the Soaring 2025 comprehensive planning process it was
determined that the area adjacent to State Street should be designed with uses which support
trip capturing. The Comprehensive Plan Appendix defines limited retail as establishments
providing retail services which, occupy facilities of 10,000 square feet or less. Typical
establishments of this size provide for specialty retailing or retailing oriented to the
surrounding vicinity.
Staff has worked closely with the applicant in regard to the design of Millpark Village to
ensure that the design of the development works to achieve the objectives of the Scenic
Page 17 of 32
K:1Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS120071Millpark ccfdoc
Corridor area as defined in the Comprehensive Plan through the utilization of building
orientation, plaza areas, and landscaping versus a simple design showing lots on each side of
an internal roadway (the previous withdrawn applications for Resler Subdivision on the same
site) with no consideration given to the Scenic Corridor area. In order to achieve the
aforementioned design elements and giving considerations regarding no access to State
Highway 44, staff recognized that an increase in building size may be warranted to create a
pedestrian friendly development that encourages trip capturing. The preliminary plat date
stamped by the City on November 29, 2007, shows a parking area south of Buildings H-K and
adjacent to State Street (SH-44). Per Eagle City Code parking should be located to the side
and rear of buildings and should be screened so that the parking area does not dominate the
streetscape. The applicant should provide a revised concept plan/preliminary plat showing
Buildings H-K rotated ninety degrees (90°)to allow for the parking areas to be placed between
the buildings prior to submitting a design review application.
• Bellemeade Planned Unit Development, which is proposed on the adjacent property to the
north, has received final development/final plat approval. The adjacent proposed lots within
Bellemeade Planned Unit Development are approximately 6,300 square feet in size. Per Eagle
City Code commercial uses abutting a residential use are required to have a ten foot(10')wide
by six foot(6') high landscaped buffer area. The preliminary plat date stamped by the City on
November 29, 2007, shows a five foot (5') wide landscape area adjacent to the northern
boundary of the development. The applicant should provide a revised preliminary plat
showing a minimum ten foot (10') wide landscape area adjacent to the northern boundary
prior to submitting a design review application. The applicant should construct a minimum six
foot(6')high solid fence within the ten foot(10')wide landscape area adjacent to the northern
boundary of the development prior to the issuance of any building permits within Millpark
Village Subdivision.
• The 2007 Comprehensive Plan, Land Use chapter, Park Lane Planning Area, Flint Estates
Area section, states that a roadway network should be provided for internal circulation and no
individual lot access to State Street should be allowed for lots adjacent to State Street. A cross
access agreement with the adjacent development to the east is necessary to provide limited
access points at Park Lane and at State Street in alignment with the Eagle Island State Park
entrance for access to the retail uses on both sites within these developments. The Concept
Plan date stamped by the City on November 29, 2007, and Preliminary Plat date stamped by
the City on November 29, 2007, shows a drive aisle providing cross access through the
commercial area to the adjacent parcel to the east. Note#12 on Sheet 2 of 2 of the preliminary
plat indicates that cross-access agreements will be provided as necessary. Since no additional
accesses were approved to State Highway 44 between Fisher Park Way and Park Lane the
applicant should be required to provide a cross access agreement to the adjacent parcel to the
east. The applicant should also provide a cross access agreement for all lots located within this
development. The cross access agreements should be executed, recorded and the instrument
numbers referenced as a plat note on the final plat prior to the City Clerk signing the final plat.
Plat Note #13 of the Millpark Village Subdivision date stamped by the City on November 29,
2007, states that if access to State Highway 44 is granted it shall be located as determined by
the State of Idaho (ITD). The applicant should provide a revised preliminary plat with Plat
Note #13 removed regarding access to State Highway 44 prior to submitting for final plat
application.
• The applicant is proposing a re-subdivision Lots 1, 4, and 9, Block 2, of the Amended Plat of
Flint Estates. A single-family dwelling is currently located on Lot 9, Block 2, of the Amended
Plat of Flint Estates at the northeast corner of State Highway 44 and N. Park Lane. The
preliminary plat date stamped by the City on November 29, 2007, shows the existing dwelling
is located within the required setback for a MU (Mixed Use) zone. The existing dwelling
Page 18 of 32
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2007\Millpark ccfdoc
located on the site should be removed prior to the City Clerk signing the final plat. Demolition
permits should be obtained from the City of Eagle Building Department prior to the removal
of the dwelling.
• The plat notes on the preliminary plat date stamped by the City on November 29, 2007,
indicate that easements will be provided for water and sewer main lines. Plat note #6 indicates
that all lots will have blanket storm drainage easements to allow surface flow to the retention
swales. Sheet 2 of 2 of the preliminary plat shows proposed locations of the water and sewer
lines however, no easements are shown either adjacent to the water or sewer lines or adjacent
to the lot lines. Per Eagle City Code, unobstructed utility easements shall be provided along
front lot lines, rear lot lines and side lot lines. Total easement width shall not be less than
twelve feet (12'). The applicant should provide a revised preliminary plat showing easements
totaling twelve feet (12') in width adjacent to all lot lines and utility easements for sewer,
water, and other utilities prior to submitting a final plat application.
• Lots 1 and 4, Block 2, of The Amended Plat of Flint Estates contains public utilities, irrigation
and drainage easements adjacent to the lot lines. The applicant will be required to vacate the
existing public utility, irrigation, and drainage easements located within Lots 1 and 4, Block 2,
of The Amended Plat of Flint Estates prior to submitting an application for final plat.
