sections consisting of one (1) public street and two (2) private street sections. The
applicant is proposing the private streets to be located internally within the residential
area.
The public street section (East Riverside Drive) is proposed to be constructed within a 70-
foot wide right-of-way consisting of two (2) 23-foot wide travel lanes (as measured from
back of curb to back of curb), two (2) eight-foot (8') wide planter strips or road side

STAFF ANALYSIS PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT:
A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN
REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL:
6.3 Land Use Designations
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map (adopted February 7, 2011), designates this site as
the following:
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.
Floodway
Floodway areas are defined as specifically shown on the newest edition of the Federal
Emergency Management Administration maps along the Boise River and Dry Creek
(Generally shown on the Land Use Map which is a part of this Plan). These areas are to
remain open space because of the nature of the floodway which can pose significant hazards
during a flood event. Also, the floodway areas shall not be considered as a part of the
minimum area of open space required (as required within the zoning ordinance) unless
developed as noted within this paragraph. Floodway areas shall be excluded from being used
for calculating permitted residential densities. Any portion of the floodway developed as a
substantially improved wildlife habitat area open to the public, or useable public open space,
such as a pathways, ball fields, parks, or similar amenities as may be approved by the City
Council, may be credited toward the minimum open space required for a development.
When discrepancies exist between the floodway boundary shown on the Land Use Map and
the floodway boundary shown on the Federal Emergency Management Administration maps
such that the floodway area is smaller than that shown on the Land Use Map the adjacent land
use designation show shall be considered to abut the actual floodway boundary.
When new floodway boundaries are approved by FEMA and/or the City,the floodway area on
the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map should be revised to reflect any new floodway line.
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.

lesser easement widths, to coincide with respective setbacks, may be considered as
part of the planned unit development.
B. Unobstructed drainageway easements shall be provided in conjunction with the utility
easement along side lot lines or as required by the city council. Total easement width,
including the utility easement, shall not be less than twelve feet (12'), except that
lesser easement widths, to coincide with respective setbacks, may be considered as
part of the planned unit development.
• Eagle City Code, Section 9-4-1-6: Pedestrian/Bicycle Pathway and Sidewalk Regulations:
D. Pathway Design: While the city may exercise considerable discretion in determining
the design of pathways,the following minimum standards shall be followed:
1. The paved portion of the pathway may range from six feet (6') to ten feet (10') in
width. Micropathways within subdivisions which are designed for primary use by
the residences of the subdivision shall be a minimum eight feet(8')wide and shall
be located within a sixteen foot (16') wide pedestrian access easement, however,
in an area where low volume pedestrian traffic is anticipated, the council may
consider a reduction in pathway width to six feet (6'). Regional pathways such as
the Boise River greenbelt and pathways located adjacent to major roadways shall
be a minimum ten feet (10') wide and shall be located within a twenty foot (20')
wide pedestrian access easement.
3. A five foot(5')wide landscaped area/building and fence setback, as measured from
both edges of the paved path, shall be required, and will be owned by either the
abutting property owner(s) or a homeowners' association unless accepted by a
public entity. The five foot(5')wide landscaped area on either side of the pathway
may be decreased to a minimum of two feet(2')wide (as measured from the edge
of asphalt to the easement line) when used in conjunction with a meandering
pathway, however, the total width of the landscape area shall not be less than ten
feet (10') (i.e., 2 feet on one side of the path and 8 feet on the other). For safety
purposes, planting material in this area is limited to three feet (3') in height. The
landscape, fence and building regulations for this area shall be indicated by a note
on the plat.

frontage line or at the building setback line, is over one hundred feet (100'),
sidewalks on only one side of the street may be allowed.
2. Sidewalks and crosswalks shall be constructed and maintained in accordance with
the standards and specifications of the Ada County highway district.
3. Sidewalks shall be separated from the edge of the abutting roadway and/or back of
curb by a minimum eight foot (8') wide landscape strip. The landscape strip shall
be completed with sod, automatic irrigation, and planted with three inch (3")
minimum caliper shade class trees along all streets within the subdivision.
Installation of landscaping shall be in accordance with section 8-2A-7 of this
code. The area within the eight foot (8') wide landscape strip may be counted
toward the minimum required common area open space.
4. Trees shall be placed at the front of each lot generally located on each side lot line.
Minor variations to the location of a tree may be considered by the design review
board during the review of the subdivision landscape plan.

E. FLOOD CONTROL ORDINANCE PROVISIONS WHICH OF SPECIAL CONCERN
REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL:
• Eagle City Code, Section 10-1-1: Findings of Fact and Purpose:
B. Purpose: It is the purpose of this title to promote the public health, safety and general
welfare, and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific
areas by provisions designed:
1. To protect human life and health;
2. To minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects;
3. To minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and
generally undertaken at the expense of the general public;
5. To minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as water and gas mains,
electric,telephone and sewer lines, streets and bridges located in areas of special
flood hazard;
6. To help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and
development of areas of special flood hazard so as to minimize future flood blight
areas;
7. To ensure that potential buyers are notified that property is in an area of special
flood hazard,warn that city review and approval is not going to prevent flooding
and that flooding may occur, and advise of information available to the city
regarding flood hazards, studies and available options;
8. To ensure that those who occupy the areas of special flood hazard assume
responsibility for their actions;
10. To restrict or prohibit uses which are injurious to health, safety or property in
times of flood,which result in environmental damage, or that cause increased
flood heights or velocities;
11. To minimize the impact of development adjacent to waterways on adjacent
properties upstream, downstream and across waterways;
12. To review development plans for property adjacent to waterways to minimize the
obstruction of the conveyance of floodwaters,review drainage/obstructions to
flood carrying capacity, and guide development adjacent to waterways toward the
most appropriate building envelope for its particular site;

• Eagle City Code, Section 10-1-2: Methods of Accomplishing Purpose:
In order to accomplish its purpose,this chapter includes methods and provisions for:
A. Restricting or prohibiting uses which are dangerous to health, safety and property due to
water or erosion hazards, or which result in damaging increases in erosion or in flood
heights or velocities;
• Eagle City Code, Section 10-1-5: Rules and Definitions:
AREA OF SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD: The land in the floodplain subject to one
percent(1%) or greater chance of flooding in any given year. Designation on maps always
includes the letters A or V. Areas of special flood hazard shall include all areas previously
identified within the areas of special flood hazard (ASFH) that have been excluded from
the ASFH by a letter of map revision (LOMR-F).
FLOODWAY: The channel of a river or other watercourse and adjacent land areas that
must be reserved in order to discharge the base flood without cumulatively increasing the
water surface elevation more than one foot(1').
NO ADVERSE IMPACT: Floodplain management where the action of one property
owner does not adversely impact public property or other private property, as measured by
increased flood peaks, flood stage, flood velocity, and erosion and sedimentation. No
adverse impact floodplain management is a policy which provides a means to promote the
use of retention/detention or other techniques to mitigate increased runoff from urban
areas.
• Eagle City Code, Section 10-1-8-1: General Building Requirements:
E. Postconstruction Elevation Certificate: Prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy, a
postconstruction elevation certificate (FEMA form 81-31, February 2006) referencing
land and structures included or removed from the area of special flood hazard is required.
All lots and structures removed from the area of special flood hazard by letter of map
change require certification by a registered professional engineer demonstrating that the
lot or structure is "reasonably safe from flooding", as defined in section 10-1-5 of this
chapter. The elevation certificate must verify the elevation of the lowest floor or lowest
adjacent grade to be one foot(1')above base flood elevation.
• Eagle City Code, Section 10-1-8-4: Subdivisions:
A. All subdivision proposals shall be consistent with the need to minimize flood damage;
B. All subdivision proposals shall have public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas,
electrical and water systems located and constructed to minimize flood damage;
Page 20 of 37
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2012\Renovare Sub ccf doc
C. All subdivision proposals shall have adequate drainage provided to reduce exposure to
flood damage; and
D. Base flood elevation data shall be provided for subdivision proposals and other
proposed development located within any area of special flood hazard. (Ord. 332, 2-
23-1999)
E. All subdivision plats shall identify and designate the 100-year floodplain boundary
and the floodway boundary including a certification by a registered surveyor that the
boundaries were established consistent with the FIRM map for the city of Eagle. All
subdivision plats shall contain a note or notes that warn prospective buyers of property
that sheet flooding can and will occur and that floods of greater magnitude may
inundate areas outside identified floodway and floodplain boundary lines.
F. All subdivision plats shall contain note(s) that refer to the required twenty five foot
(25') setback from all waterways, called the riparian zone, in which no improvement is
permitted and require that riparian vegetation shall be maintained in its natural state
for the protection and stabilization of the riverbank and that removal of trees or other
vegetation is regulated.
• Eagle City Code, Section 10-1-8-5: Specific Standards:
In all cases of special flood hazard where base flood elevation data has been provided as
set forth in section 10-1-6 of this chapter,the provisions of this chapter shall be required:
D. Floodways: Located within areas of special flood hazard established in section 10-1-6
of this chapter, are areas designated as floodways. Since the floodway is an extremely
hazardous area due to the velocity of floodwaters which carry debris, potential
projectile and erosion potential,the following provisions apply: (Ord. 332, 2-23-1999)
1. Encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements and
other development, are prohibited unless an approved floodplain development
permit is issued demonstrating that encroachments shall not result in any adverse
impacts during the occurrence of the base flood.
2. Encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements and
other development are prohibited unless certification by a registered professional
hydraulic engineer is provided demonstrating that encroachments shall not result
in any increase in flood levels during the occurrence of the base flood discharge;
and uses within the floodway shall be restricted to those which are required by
public necessity (for example, bridges; water pumps), recreational use (for
example, paths),wildlife habitat improvements (for example, vegetation; nesting
structures; pool/riffle improvements), and gravel extraction; provided that the
use/encroachment meets the approval of the federal emergency management
agency and national flood insurance program and does not jeopardize the city's
participation in the national flood insurance program.
3. Subsection D1 of this section shall comply with all applicable flood hazard
reduction provisions of this section 10-1-8.
5. All buildings shall be set back a minimum of one hundred feet (100') from the
floodway line. Except that when the area of special flood hazard boundary is one
hundred feet (100') or less from the floodway line, the boundary line shall be the
setback line.
Page 21 of 37
K.\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2012\Renovare Sub ccf doc
6. No development is permitted within the twenty five foot (25') setback from all
waterways called the riparian zone and riparian vegetation shall be maintained in
its natural state for the protection and stabilization of the riverbank, and removal
of trees or other vegetation is regulated in accordance with this chapter.
7. For all subdivisions along the Boise River, prior written approval from flood
control district 10 is required to protect access to the river for maintenance.
8. Compensating excavation in accordance with an engineered plan for orderly
conveyance of floodwater, or equivalent mitigating measures may be performed in
the floodway when certified by a registered professional engineer. Mitigation
design shall include provisions to prevent relocation or diversion of flow paths
from causing increased jeopardy to any off site property at any level of flooding
from the 1-year flood up to the base flood. Maintenance provisions for excavated
areas prone to fill from sediment and other debris shall follow the requirements of
subsection 9-3-2-5C of this code for private streets.
9. In the design of public and private parks and open space areas, fixed structures or
equipment that would impede floodwaters shall not be permitted within the
floodway.
E. Riparian Areas: Located within areas of special flood hazard, established in section
10-1-6 of this chapter, are areas designated as riparian areas. Since riparian areas
provide critical flood management and fish and wildlife habitat,the following
provisions apply:
1. Preservation or restoration of the inherent natural characteristics of the river and
creeks within the floodplain;
2. Preservation of riparian vegetation and wildlife habitat, if any, along the stream
bank and within the required minimum twenty five foot (25') setback or riparian
zone;
3. No development or other than development by the city of Eagle or required for
emergency access shall occur within the twenty five foot(25')riparian zone with
the exception of approved stream stabilization work. The Eagle city council may
approve access to property where no other primary access is available. Private
pathways and staircases shall not lead into or through the riparian zone unless
deemed necessary by the Eagle city council.
4. Plan and time frame shall be provided for restoration of riparian vegetation
damaged as a result of the work done;
5. New or replacement planting and vegetation shall include plantings that are low
growing and have dense root systems for the purpose of stabilizing stream banks
and repairing damage previously done to riparian vegetation. Examples of such
plantings include: red osier dogwood, common chokecherry, serviceberry,
elderberry, river birch, skunk bush sumac, beb's willow, drummond's willow, little
wild rose, gooseberry, and honeysuckle.
F. DISCUSSION:
• The Eagle Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as Mixed Use,
Floodway and Scenic Corridor. The applicant has submitted a development agreement
modification and preliminary plat application for Renovare Subdivision, which consists of
40.20-acres. The applicant is proposing a 67-lot (55 buildable, 11 common, and 1 park/nature
Page 22 of 37
K\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2012\Renovare Sub ccfdoc
site) single-family residential gated community to be served internally by private streets. The
proposed density is 2.20 dwelling units per acre (not inclusive of the proposed park/nature
area to be donated to the city pursuant to the executed development agreement, Instrument No.
108055908, Ada County records). The applicant is proposing the residential lots ranging in
size from 5,171-square feet to 18,541-square feet in size. The property is currently zoned MU-
DA (Mixed Use with a development agreement) which requires a minimum lot size of 5,000-
square feet. The property was zoned MU-DA (Mixed Use with a development agreement)
because the previous applicant received approval for a residential/commercial development to
be constructed on the property and utilized the MU-DA (Mixed Use with a development
agreement) in lieu of a planned unit development. The applicant is proposing 12.21-acres of
common area, which is 30.3% of the development (not inclusive of the proposed park/nature
area to be donated to the city pursuant to the executed development agreement, Instrument No.
108055908, Ada County records).
• The owner of the subject property sold a portion of the property to the applicant thus creating a
division of the parcel that is not in conformance with Eagle City Code. As shown by the
preliminary plat, date stamped by the City on June 17, 2013, the applicant is proposing to only
subdivide the portion of the parcel of which they have ownership plus the proposed
park/nature area, located to the south of the residential area, which the original owner still
retains ownership. The preliminary plat shows the remnant parcel (labeled NOT A PART)
located north of the proposed subdivision, south of an existing right-of-way and approximately
200-feet east of South Edgewood Lane. Upon recordation of the proposed subdivision a parcel
will be created without being divided through a legal process pursuant to Eagle City Code.
The applicant should submit a Lot Line Adjustment application to eliminate the unplatted
portion of the property or submit a revised preliminary plat showing the property to be platted
in its entirety. The Lot Line Adjustment application or preliminary plat should be submitted
prior to submittal of a final plat application.
• The preliminary plat, date stamped by the City on June 17, 2013, notes and shows the
subdivision will be served internally by private roads. The preliminary plat shows two (2)
separate private street sections. One (1) of the street sections shows the street area to contain
two (2) 10-foot wide thru lanes, 8-foot park lane, and a 6-foot attached asphalt walk path that
will be identified on the pavement by a painted line. The second street section shows the street
area to contain two (2) 11-foot wide thru lanes and a 6-foot wide attached asphalt walk path
that will be identified on the pavement by a painted line. Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section
9-3-2-5, private streets may provide access to no more than 10-percent(10%)of the lots within
a planned unit development provided the Council determines that the private streets are in
compliance with specific standards. Those standards include safe and effective movement of
both vehicular and pedestrian traffic, sidewalks, and parking, private streets do not adversely
affect access to adjacent property and to the area travel networks, private streets do not land
lock adjacent property, the private streets do not connect one public street to another, and the
alignment of the private streets does not interfere with the continuity of public streets. Also,
pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 9-3-2-5 (B)(2), all private streets shall contain paved
travel lanes a minimum of 12-feet in width. Eagle City Code Section 9-3-2-5 (B)(3) requires
that sidewalks shall be required in accordance with subsection 9-4-1-6 (F), which requires that
separated sidewalks be constructed on both sides of the street. The applicant should provide a
revised preliminary plat showing the entire development to be served by public streets prior to
submittal of a final plat application.
• Plat note #5 on the preliminary plat, date stamped by the City on June 17, 2013, indicates that,
"Development of this property shall be in conformance with the City of Eagle Zoning
Ordinance or as per the applicable approved development agreement". The applicant should
Page 23 of 37
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2012Utenovare Sub ccf.doc
provide a revised preliminary plat with plat note #5 revised to read, "Development of this
property shall be in conformance with the City of Eagle Zoning Ordinance or as per the
applicable approved development agreement associated with the RZ-24-06." The revised
preliminary plat should be provided prior to submittal of a final plat application.
• Plat note #6 on the preliminary plat, date stamped by the City on June 17, 2013, indicates that,
"All residential lots (except lots 47, 48) shall have a 12' (7.5' for lots 47, 48) public utility,
pressure irrigation and drainage easement adjacent to all front lot lines and a 5' public utility
and drainage easement adjacent to all side lot lines.No easement is proposed on rear lot lines."
A majority of residential lots are located adjacent to ponds that may not be conducive to the
location of public utilities or pressurized irrigation lines. The applicant should provide a
revised preliminary plat with plat note #6 revised to read, "All residential lots (except lots 47,
48) shall have a 12' (7.5' for lots 47, 48) public utility, pressure irrigation and drainage
easement adjacent to all front lot lines, a 12' easement adjacent to all rear lot lines, and a 5'
public utility and drainage easement adjacent to all side lot lines."The revised preliminary plat
should be provided prior to submittal of a final plat application.
• Plat note #7 on the preliminary plat date stamped by the City on June 17, 2013, indicates that,
"Proposed building setbacks lines shall be in accordance with the City of Eagle Zoning
Ordinance in effect at the time of building permit, or as otherwise approved in the
development agreement(s)". The development agreement contains a condition of development
