COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL: The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map (adopted November 14, 2017), designates this site as the following: Downtown Suitable primarily for development that accommodates and encourages further expansion and renewal in the downtown core.A variety of business,public,quasi-public,cultural,ancillary 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 development are encouraged. Residential only development should be discouraged.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. • 6.17 Downtown Eagle Planning Area The Downtown Eagle Plan is intended to focus and solidify the City's planning vision,goals, actions and investments in support of the growth and continued revitalization of Downtown Eagle;to help coordinate private and public investment in the heart of the City of Eagle.It is the City's primary means of guiding land uses and development for properties located within the Downtown Eagle Planning Area.(Comp plan page 119) Development in the Downtown Eagle Area should be designed to: o Establish a distinctive,well maintained and well-branded downtown; o Create a well-organized multi-use community that promotes the live,work,play,and recreate lifestyle; o Promote and support a strong and vibrant business community; o Create an interconnected community that allows access to and across the regional highway system;and o Promote and develop a unique downtown that supports pedestrian,bicycle,and transit connectivity.(page 120) • 6.17.2 Downtown Eagle Planning Area L.

Establish design criteria that promotes the incorporation of historical architectural elements into new buildings to complement and provide support to the historic charter of the area. (Comp plan page 128) HH. Encourage innovative designs that complement the setting in which a building is being placed as opposed to strict adherence to a specific architectural style. (Comp plan page 128) • 6.17.3 Olde Towne Planning Area Olde Towne Eagle should maintain the quaint feel of a traditional town center; as the active community center and community gathering place for the City. The character of Olde Towne is generally defined by its pedestrian-scale(attached sidewalks,store fronts with large windows at the sidewalk,and open space amenities), ensuring context sensitive design complementing the most significant historic structures. A traditional mix of retail, residential,office, and public uses is to be maintained. State Street should be the focus for the highest intensity of uses in the area (See Figure 6.21). trlap 6 Olde?o::ne P arming,-ea City*I Eagle s I `.\ —I�,-\ UM(mine PIi.nIuaArra t 2.

The site plan identifies an existing concrete sidewalk adjacent to East State Street(8-feet wide) and South 2nd Street(4-feet wide).No changes are proposed for either sidewalk. The City is working with the Ada County Highway District(ACHD)on plans to replace sidewalk areas within downtown Eagle(adjacent to East State Street), including in front of this site.A new sidewalk design has been approved with the joint Ada County Highway District and City of Eagle project.Construction for this project is currently scheduled for 2023.The new sidewalk design differs from the sidewalk design in the EASD book.

The City's plan for the redesign of East State Street includes new irrigation, street trees, and sidewalk design. Staff defers comment regarding the missing street tree to the Design Review Board. • The building and site were developed in 1992 and have not been updated in 28 years.The site and landscape plans show the existing overgrow landscaping to remain adjacent to South 2nd Street and East State Street(on both the east and west sides of the driveway).New landscaping is proposed on the east property line to buffer the drive through from the adjacent property to the east. With the proposed building modifications, it may be appropriate at this time to update the overgrown and outdated landscaping along South 2nd Street and East State Street to complement the new landscaping on the east property line and the updated building elevations.
