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 02-03-11)designates this site as:
Downtown
Suitable primarily for development that accommodates and encourages further expansion and
renewal in the downtown core business area of the community. A variety of business,public,
quasi-public, cultural,residential and other related uses are encouraged. The greatest possible
concentration of retail sales and business is to occur in this land use designation. Pedestrian
friendly uses and developments are encouraged. Land within this district is the only place to
utilize the CBD zoning designation. Other zones within Downtown Eagle may include Mixed
Use, Residential, Commercial and Professional Office.

K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\CU\2012\CU-01-12 Idaho Central Credit Union ccfdoc
B. ZONING ORDINANCE PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING
THIS PROPOSAL:
• Eagle City Code Section 8-2-3 Schedule of District Use Regulations:
Bank/Financial Institution with drive up service requires the approval of a conditional use
permit within the C-3 zoning district.
• Eagle City Code Section 8-4-5 Schedule of Parking Requirements:
Banks/financial institutions 11 for each 200 square feet of gross floor area;plus queue for
4 cars per drive up window
• Eagle City Code Section 8-7-3-5 Conditional Use Permit:
A conditional use permit shall not be considered as establishing a binding precedent to
grant other conditional use permits.
D. Conditions Of Permit: Upon the granting of a conditional use permit, conditions may
be attached to said permit including,but not limited to,those:
1. Minimizing adverse impact on other development;
2. Controlling the sequence and timing of development;
3. Controlling the duration of development;
4. Assuring that development is maintained properly;
5. Designating the exact location and nature of development;
6. Requiring the provision for on site or off site public facilities or services; and
7. Requiring more restrictive standards than those generally required in this title.
F. Effect Of Issuance On Other Conditional Uses: A conditional use permit shall not be
considered as establishing a binding precedent to grant other conditional use permits.
C. DISCUSSION:
• With the review of an application that includes the use of a drive up service, consideration
should be given to surrounding uses and roadways due to noise and headlight glare created by
the vehicles accessing the site. The site is located within the existing Aquila Village
Subdivision (Lot 1, Block 1) commercial development. It may be considered that because
existing commercial uses surround this site, there will be little impact on the adjacent
properties and uses. The proposed drive up service lanes travel from west to east and then
north along the building; headlights from the vehicles using the drive up service lanes have the
potential to shine directly into westbound traffic travelling on East State Street (abutting the
southern boundary of this property) and southbound traffic on North Palmetto Avenue(eastern
boundary). Upon entering the actual drive up service area the glare from the vehicle headlights
will be shining into the southeast corner of the commercial building located west of the
proposed drive up service lanes. The landscape plan provided by the applicant and date
stamped by the City on May 3, 2012, shows several shrubs and small pine trees that will be
planted adjacent to the southern and eastern property lines to mitigate the glare from vehicle
headlights that are accessing the drive up service lanes. The proposed landscaping would
Page 6 of 14
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\CC\2012\CU-01-12 Idaho Central Credit Union cc£doc
appear to provide adequate screening of the drive up service lanes adjacent to East State Street
and North Palmetto Avenue. However, there is still the potential of headlight glare on the
commercial building located west of the proposed drive up service lanes and it does not appear
that adequate screening is proposed in this area. The applicant should provide additional
landscaping in the area west of the drive up service lanes (northwest corner of the subject site)
to reduce the impact of the vehicles utilizing the drive up service lanes (i.e. vehicle headlights
and vehicle queuing)on the commercial building located west of the proposed site.
• Typical bank facilities with drive up service lanes have outdoor intercom systems(for patrons)
that may project sound outside of the bank's property boundaries. While this site is bounded
on all sides by commercial property or roadways, this does not alleviate the creation of a
possible nuisance to adjacent users. A public sidewalk is located adjacent to North Palmetto
Avenue approximately 70-feet east of the proposed drive up lanes. There is also a public
sidewalk located adjacent to the western boundary of the site and approximately 120-feet from
the drive up lanes. The adjacent property to the north contains a building within 60-feet of the
proposed drive up lane. The applicant has provided an audio system sound specification sheet
date stamped by the City on May 15, 2012, showing the decibel levels (dB) with the
measurements at maximum values. These measurements are based on no vehicles being
present within the service lane area. The specification sheet also indicates that normal site
conditions require less than maximum levels of output. The specification sheet shows the
audio system at a maximum level of output to be 53 dBs at the building located north of the
site and also at the sidewalk located adjacent to North Palmetto Avenue. This would be
equivalent to a normal conversation at three feet(3').
• With regard to parking, the site may be considered"self-contained" in that it is designed to be
bounded on all three sides with landscaping, and the remaining side is a shopping center drive
aisle. Pursuant to Eagle City Code, banks/financial institutions are required to have one (1)
parking space for each 200-square feet of gross floor area; plus queue for four (4) cars per
drive up window. The applicant is proposing 18-parking spaces, based on the size of the
proposed facility 17-parking spaces are required.
• Staff has reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed conditional use and,in
terms of Eagle City Code Section 8-7-3-2"A thru I"(required findings for approval of a
conditional use),has made the following conclusions:
The proposed conditional use;
A. Will, in fact, constitute a conditional use as established in Section 8-2-3 of this
title (Eagle City Code Title 8) since a bank/financial with drive up service may be
permitted in the CBD (Central Business District) zoning district if a conditional
use permit is approved by the City Council;
B. Will be harmonious with and in accordance with the general objectives or with
any specific objective of the Comprehensive Plan and/or this title (Eagle City
Code Title 8) since there are no inconsistencies with the Comprehensive Plan and
since a bank/financial institution with drive-up service is permitted with the
approval of a conditional use within the CBD (Central Business District) zoning
district and the Comprehensive Plan designates this site as Downtown;
C. Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to be harmonious and
appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general
vicinity and that such use will not change the essential character of the same area
since the bank/financial institution with drive up service is located within a
Page 7 of 14
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\CU\2012\CU-01-12 Idaho Central Credit Union ccfdoc
commercial development and the design of the proposed structure must meet the
City's design review requirements;
D. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighborhood uses since
the bank/financial institution with drive up service is to be located within a
commercial development that currently has compatible commercial uses;
E. 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; or that the persons or agencies responsible for the establishment of
the proposed use shall be able to provide adequately any such services as noted in
responses received by agencies providing the public services, or as conditioned
herein;
F. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public
facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the
community since the site has been improved with essential public facilities such as
streets, sewer and water services;
G. Will not involve uses, activities,processes,materials, equipment and conditions of
operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare
by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors
since the applicant will be required to limit outdoor communication systems that
are designed to mitigate noise projection onto adjacent property, and the drive up
service lanes will be placed on the north side of the building which buffers the
lanes from East State Street and North Palmetto Avenue and eliminates any
potential vehicle headlight glare on both public roads;
H. Will have vehicular approaches to the property which are designed as not to create
an interference with traffic on surrounding public thoroughfares since the site will
take access from an internal private street; and
I. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic
feature of major importance since none are apparent on this site.

3. The Council reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of the proposed conditional use (CU-01-
12) in terms of Eagle City Code Section 8-7-3-2, "General Standards For Conditional Uses" and has
concluded that the proposed conditional uses:
A. Will, in fact, constitute a conditional use as established in Section 8-2-3 of this
title (Eagle City Code Title 8) since a bank/financial with drive up service may be
permitted in the CBD (Central Business District) zoning district if a conditional
use permit is approved by the City Council;
B. Will be harmonious with and in accordance with the general objectives or with
any specific objective of the Comprehensive Plan and/or this title (Eagle City
Code Title 8) since there are no inconsistencies with the Comprehensive Plan and
since a bank/financial institution with drive-up service is permitted with the
approval of a conditional use within the CBD (Central Business District) zoning
district and the Comprehensive Plan designates this site as Downtown;
C. Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to be harmonious and
appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general
vicinity and that such use will not change the essential character of the same area
since the bank/financial institution with drive up service is located within a
commercial development and the design of the proposed structure must meet the
City's design review requirements;
D. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighborhood uses since
the bank/financial institution with drive up service is to be located within a
commercial development that currently has compatible commercial uses;
E. 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; or that the persons or agencies responsible for the establishment of
the proposed use shall be able to provide adequately any such services as noted in
responses received by agencies providing the public services, or as conditioned
herein;
F. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public
facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the
community since the site has been improved with essential public facilities such as
streets, sewer and water services;
G. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of
operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare
by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors
since the applicant will be required to limit outdoor communication systems that
are designed to mitigate noise projection onto adjacent property, and the drive up
service lanes will be placed on the north side of the building which buffers the
lanes from East State Street and North Palmetto Avenue and eliminates any
potential vehicle headlight glare on both public roads;

H. Will have vehicular approaches to the property which are designed as not to create
an interference with traffic on surrounding public thoroughfares since the site will
take access from an internal private street; and
I. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic
feature of major importance since none are apparent on this site.
4. Pursuant to Eagle City Code 8-7-3-5 (F), a conditional use permit shall not be considered as
establishing a binding precedent to grant other conditional use permits.
