ST AFF 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 11-27-07) designates this site as:
Residential Estates
Suitable primarily for single family residential development on acreages may be in
transition from agricultural to residential use or may combine small scale
agricultural uses with residential uses. An allowable density of up to 1 unit per 2
acres.
Page 3 of 11
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\RZ&A\2009\A-02-09 & RZ-02-09 ccfHarris.doc
Chapter 8 - Transportation
8.2 - Street Classification
8.2.6 Local Roadways
Mobility Function:
The primary function of a local street is to serve abutting property. Local
streets are to be designed to allow on-street parking and discourage
continuous or unobstructed flow of traffic through residential
neighborhoods.
Access Function:
To normally provide abutting properties with unrestricted access to the
local street unless the street is a local commercial street, in which case
access restrictions may apply.
Right-of- Way:
As shall be determined by the Highway District having jurisdiction with
recommendations by the City and seriously considered by the Highway
District.
All roadways not classifie:d as arterials or collectors are considered local
roadways.
8.6.2 Specific Design Strategies
a) Encourage sidewalks that are separated from the curb on all streets,
except for areas where Eagle City Code requires sidewalks to abut the
curb and where existing buildings, inordinate environmental impacts,
or other impacts make setting the sidewalk back infeasible.
Meandering sidewalks should be required if permitted under the
Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and where space permits. A
planter strip of sufficient width for street trees between the sidewalk
and roadway should be required. Where adequate facilities exist,
efforts should be made to provide a canopy effect over the roadways.
The type of street trees used should be those that have root systems
that have proven to not cause sidewalk or curb damage when in close
proximity to such improvements. Root barriers should be required.
s) Encourage arterial and collector roadway design criteria consistent
with the rural nature of planned and existing developments generally
within the areas designated on the Land Use Map as Residential
Rural (one dwelling unit per five acres maximum) and Residential
Estates (one dwelling unit per two acres maximum).
For purposes of this section, roadways should include, but are not
limited to:
. Homer Road
. Beacon Light Road
. Park Lane
. Meridian Road
. Ballantyne Road
Page 4 of 1 it
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\RZ&A\2009\A-02-09 & RZ-02-09 ccfHarris.doc
· Eagle Road (from Floating Feather Road north to the Impact Area
boundary),
· Linder Road (from Beacon Light Road north to the Impact Area
boundary),
· Palmer Road,
· New arterial and collector roadways within the Foothills region
that have forecast daily traffic volumes of less than 18,000
vehicles.
Such designs should include the following:
· ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act) permitting, sidewalks and/or
pathways should meander and be separated from any roadway edge or
curb to allow for added pedestrian safety. Topography, trees, ditches
and/or similar features may limit the distance between sidewalks
and/or pathways and the roadway edge. Easements may be needed if
portions of the sidewalk and/or pathway are to be located outside of
the right-of-way.
B. ZONING ORDINANCE PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING
THIS PROPOSAL: (None)
C. DISCUSSION:
· The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates this site as Residential Estates (up to one
dwelling unit per two acres). The applicant is requesting annexation and rezone to R-E-DA
(Residential-Estates - up to one (1) dwelling unit per two (2) acres with a development
agreement) to facilitate a future parcel division.
· The applicant provided a draft development agreement, date stamped by the City on May 5,
2009, with Conditions of Development allowing 1) the single family located on the site to
remain on the existing well and septic system, 2) a sidewalk to not be required adjacent to
Meridian Road, 3) the strip of land containing the irrigation ditch located adjacent to the north
boundary to be part of the annexation, but may not be considered as part of a future parcel
division, and 4) the agreement will not include any conditions of approval from Ada County
Highway District.
o Within the justification letter, date stamped by the City on May 5, 2009, the
applicant's representative indicated that sewer and water are not readily available to
this subdivision. It goes on to state that due to the size of the new lot to be created (2
acres), a private well and individual septic system may be utilized. First, the applicant
is requesting the rezone to facilitate a future parcel division. Although a parcel
division is allowed pursuant to Eagle: City Code, Title 9, Subdivisions, it should be
noted a parcel division is not a subdivision. Secondly, United Water Company of
Idaho has indicated that a twelve inch (12") water line is located within Meridian
Road which fronts this property therefore the property can be served by central water.
The applicant acknowledges the presence of a United Water line within their
submitted draft development agreement, Condition of Development No. 2.1, which
states: "Existing Well, the existing single family dwelling can remain on the existing
domestic well unless the well was to fail. Any new dwellings must hook-up to United
Water at the time of Building Permit for the new dwelling. " If the applicant is not
willing to connect the existing dwelling to public water at this time the applicant
Page 5 of 1 ][
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\RZ&A\2009\A-02-09 & RZ-02-09 ccfHarris.doc
should be required to provide a stub-out for public water to the existing home prior to
the City Clerk signing a parcel division record of survey.
o Within the draft development agreement provided by the applicant, Condition of
Development No. 2.2 states: "Sewer, the existing single family dwelling can remain
on the existing individual septic. Any new dwelling must hook-up to Eagle Sewer
District if a sewer line is reasonably available at the time of Building Permit for the
new dwelling." Condition of Development No. 2.2, should also contain language
similar to Condition of Development No. 2.1, requiring that should the septic system
serving the existing single-family dwdling fail, the homeowner should be required to
hook-up to Eagle Sewer District facilities contingent upon those facilities being
available.
o Within the applicant's draft development agreement, Condition of Development No.
2.3 states: "Sidewalk, a sidewalk along the frontage of Meridian Road shall not be
required as part of this agreement. " The site contains a few mature trees which are
located between the existing single family dwelling and Meridian Road. There are no
trees located adjacent to Meridian Road on the portion of the site which may be split
from the area where the existing single family dwelling is located. A sidewalk was not
required as part of the approval for Canterbury Subdivision which is adjacent to this
property to the north, however a sidewalk is located adjacent to Cavallo Subdivision
on the west side of N. Meridian Road across from this site. The sidewalk continues
north from Cavallo Subdivision zoned R-E (Residential Estates up to one unit per two
acres) across the front of the adjoining property (known as the Harrison property)
which is also zoned R-E-DA (Residential-Estates up to one unit per two (2) acres with
a development agreement) and was recently split through the approval of a parcel
division. A Condition of Development within the Harrison' development agreement
was that a sidewalk be constructed prior to the City Clerk signing a parcel division for
that property. The annexation and rezone of the Harris' (subject) property is to
facilitate a future parcel division. The adjacent property south of this site may be
developed in the future and a sidewalk may be required as part of that approval. In this
area, the city has continual1y required the construction of sidewalks along Meridian
Road, and any breaks in the ongoing c:onnectivity will not serve in the best interests of
the city. Prior to the redevelopment of this site, whether it is through a parcel division
or subdivision approval, the applicant should be required to construct a sidewalk
adjacent to North Meridian Road prior to the City Clerk signing a parcel division
record of surveyor a subdivision final plat. The applicant should provide a site plan
showing a meandering, detached five foot (5') wide concrete sidewalk (meeting ADA
standards) located no closer than eighteen feet (18') from the centerline of North
Meridian Road. The applicant should[ construct the sidewalk prior to the City Clerk
signing a parcel division record of survey. If the applicant locates any portion of the
sidewalk outside of the public right of way, the applicant should provide to the City
the recorded easement granting public use and access on the portions of the sidewalk
located outside of the public right of way.
o Within the applicant's draft development agreement, Condition of Development No.
2.4 states: "Irrigation Ditch, the strip of land located along the north boundary of the
property that contains the existing irrigation ditch has been included as part of the
annexation application, but may not be considered part of any future parcel division
until owned by applicant." The application and legal description references and
Page 6 of 11
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\RZ&A\2009\A-02-09 & RZ-02-09 ccf Harris.doc
describes a piece of property located north of the Harris' property which contains an
irrigation ditch. As of this date it is unknown who owns the parcel. The applicant is
requesting the City to annex and rezone this property similar to the process of
annexing and rezoning a public right-of-way. Until it is determined whether the
property is public or privately owned staff is not supportive of annexing and rezoning
the property at this time. Due to the fact the owner of the adjacent property where the
irrigation ditch is located is unknown, it is impossible to make those owners a party of
the development agreement. Staff recommends that only the property currently owned
by the applicant be annexed and rezoned. Upon the applicant gaining ownership of the
aforementioned property they may then apply for annexation and rezone of that parcel.
o Within the applicant's draft development agreement, Condition of Development No.
2.5, states: "ACHD, this agreement does not include any conditions of approval from
Ada County Highway District. " It should be noted that the City of Eagle does not
have the authority to waive conditions of approval which ACHD places on
development applications. Therefore staff does not recommend the applicant's
requested Condition of Development No. 2.5 be placed in the development agreement.
· With regard to Eagle City Code Section 8-7-5 "Action by the Commission and Council",
and based upon the information provided to staff to date, staff believes that the proposed
rezone is in accordance with the City of Eagle Comprehensive Plan and established goals
and objectives because:
a. The requested zoning designation of R-E-DA (Residential-Estates - up to one (1) unit
per two (2) acres with a development agreement) is consistent with the designation as
shown on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map;
b. The information provided from the agencies having jurisdiction over the public
facilities needed for this site indicate that adequate public facilities exist, or are
expected to be provided, to serve all uses allowed on this property under the proposed
zone;
c. The proposed zoning designation of R-E-DA (Residential-Estates - up to one unit per
two-acres with a development agreement) is compatible with the R-E (Residential-
Estates - up to one unit per two acres) zone and land use to the north since that area is
developed as a residential subdivision in a similar manner as this property may be
developed, and;
d. The proposed zoning designation ofR-E-DA (Residential-Estates - up to one unit per
two-acres with a development agreement) is compatible with the RUT (Residential-
Urban Transition - Ada County designation) zone and land use to the south since that
area could be developed with lots of similar size in the same manner at a later date;
e. The proposed zoning designation of R-E-DA (Residential-Estates - up to one unit per
two-acres with a development agreement) is compatible with the R-E (Residential-
Estates - up to one unit per two acres) zone and land use to the west since that area is
developed as a residential subdivision in a similar manner as this property may be
developed, and;
f. The proposed zoning designation of R-E-DA (Residential-Estates - up to one unit per
two-acres with a development agreement) is compatible with the RUT (Residential-
Urban Transition - Ada County designation) zone and land use to the east since that
area may be developed in a similar manner in the future;
g. The land proposed for rezone is not located within a "Hazard Area" and "Special
Area" as described within the Comprehensive Plan; and
Page 7 of II
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\RZ&A\2009\A-02-09 & RZ-02-09 ccfHarris.doc
h. No non-conforming uses are expected to be created with this rezone if the conditions
to be placed within the development agreement are achieved.
