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 Downtown Eagle. 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. An allowable
density of up to 10 units per 1 acre.
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.
6.6 Land Use Implementation Strategies
T. Encourage development of high density residential units of up to 10 dwelling units per
acre in the vicinity of the existing intersections of State Highway 44 and Ballantyne Lane
and State Highway 44 and State Street if the intersections are eliminated and a new
intersection is constructed approximately 800 —feet west of the existing State Highway
44/Ballantyne Lane intersection. If the relocation of the intersections occurs, then the
mixed use area shown along the north side of State Highway 44 from Van Engelen Estates
to the Mixed Use area's west boundary may be developed with uses which the City will
rezone and control through the use of Development Agreements. High density residential
units of up to 10 dwelling units per acre will be encouraged in this area. However, if the
existing intersection modifications outlined above are not completed, the Mixed Use area
referenced above shall be developed as residential with densities of up to a maximum of
two dwelling units per acre.

• Eagle City Code, Section 9- 4 -1 -9: Water Supply and Sewer Systems:
C. Pressurized Irrigation Facilities:
1. All residential dwelling units shall be provided with a pressurized irrigation system to
be served with irrigation water unless a waiver, as outlined herein, is approved by the
city council.
2. The requirement for installation of a pressurized irrigation system may be waived by
the city council when the applicant has established that any of the following situations
exist (the sale or transfer of an existing water right shall not be grounds for requesting
a waiver pursuant to this provision):
a. Where a sufficient surface irrigation water right does not exist for the property. The
lack of surface irrigation water right shall be documented in writing by the
appropriate irrigation district or canal company and the department of water
resources and shall be submitted with the subdivision preliminary plat. In this case
a waiver shall only be granted for that portion of the subdivision that cannot be
served.
b. Where an existing surface water right cannot be delivered to the property by an
irrigation district or canal company due to current delivery capacity or scheduling.
In these situations the city council may still require the installation of the pressure
irrigation system, provided water rights can be made available to the property and
delivery system modifications can be made so irrigation water can be supplied
within two (2) years.
c. Where the applicant has provided for another means of delivery such as flood
irrigation, if approved by the city engineer. The applicant shall present the
proposed alternative delivery system to the city engineer at the time the waiver is
requested.
d. That due to the specific circumstances surrounding a new subdivision, the cost of
obtaining water rights, reestablishing water rights or developing the system would
impose an undue economic hardship on the developer. For purposes of this
section, an undue economic hardship shall consist of a showing that the cost per
lot to develop the pressurized irrigation system would be twenty five percent
(25 %) higher than the cost per lot for providing a pressurized irrigation system to
subdivisions of similar size and density constructed in the city within the previous
two (2) years; or the cost per lot of the pressurized irrigation system would exceed
five percent (5 %) of the expected per lot market value of the subdivision.
The developer shall bear the burden of providing documentation, acceptable to the
city engineer and city council, demonstrating and supporting the estimated costs
of construction of the pressurized irrigation system, and the cost per lot for
irrigation systems in those subdivisions built in the last two (2) years as noted
above, and the expected market value of the subdivision lots. For phased
developments, costs will be analyzed over all phases of the development rather
than the first phase only.
3. Should installation of a pressurized irrigation system be waived by the city engineer,
as outlined herein, compliance to Idaho Code 31 -3805 is still required.
4. Requests for waivers shall be submitted to the city with the preliminary plat
application and shall be accompanied by an irrigation report, prepared by a licensed
Idaho registered professional engineer, stating the location and availability of surface
Page 12 of 25
KAPlanning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2014\Predico EP Sub FFCL Post - reconsideration Final.doc
irrigation water and documenting the basis for the waiver request. If applicable, the
irrigation report shall be accompanied by a letter from the irrigation district or canal
company stating that water rights and/or a delivery system are not available to the
property.
D. DISCUSSION:
The Eagle Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as Mixed Use and
Scenic Corridor. The Land Use Implementation Strategies within the Land Use chapter of the
Comprehensive Plan encourages development of high density residential units (up to 10
dwelling units per acre) to be located within the subject property. The applicant has submitted
a rezone and preliminary plat applications for Predico EP Subdivision, which consists of
10.68 - acres. The applicant is proposing a four (4) lot (3- commercial, 1- residential [88 units])
subdivision. The applicant is proposing six (6) multi - family dwelling units which will contain
88- dwelling units and a club house. The proposed density of the development is 8.2- dwelling
units per acre (density calculation based upon the entire area of the 10.68 -acre site: 88-
units /10.68 -acres = 8.2).
Multi - family dwellings require a conditional use permit within the MU (Mixed Use) zoning
designation. Developments requiring a conditional use permit in the MU zoning district, as
shown in section 8 -2 -3 of this chapter, shall occur under the PUD and/or development
agreement process in accordance with chapter 6 or 10 of Eagle City Code. The applicant is
proposing a development agreement in lieu of a planned unit development (PUD) for this
development; therefore the findings and conditions usually found within a conditional use
permit will be placed within the rezone findings and associated development agreement.
The applicant is requesting a height exception to allow the buildings to be a maximum of
387" in height to maintain a cohesive building to roof massing scale. The applicant has
indicated within the provided narrative, date stamped by the City on October 30, 2014, that the
height exception will allow an "open" site plan with up to 50% of the site being committed to
landscaping. The narrative also indicates that Building A (shown on the building elevations,
date stamped by the City on December 11, 2014) has two (2) variations (Al and A2) in which
portions of the building have dropped the third floor to mitigate height concerns adjacent to
Countryside Estates. The proposed building height of the multi - family structures (as identified
on the Concept Plan) should not exceed 39 -feet in height. Building `B" (as shown on the
Concept Plan) should be constructed utilizing building elevation Al.
The applicant has requested a waiver from the requirement to provide pressurized irrigation.
The pressurized irrigation waiver request, date stamped by the City on December 12, 2014,
indicated that although the property has irrigation water rights (currently being utilized by
Countryside Estates Subdivision) there is no delivery point for irrigation water due to the
construction of the West State Street realignment. The applicant is currently working with the
Countryside Estates Subdivision homeowner's association and New Dry Creek in an effort to
provide irrigation to the site. However, if an agreement cannot be reached the applicant plans
to utilize potable water for irrigation needs if a waiver is approved.
The preliminary plat, date stamped by the City on October 30, 2014, shows three (3)
ingress /egress drive aisle access points to West State Street. The drive aisles are not located
within a common lot(s) and there is not a plat note identifying cross access between the
individual lots. The applicant should provide a revised preliminary plat with a new plat note
indicating that each lot owner and/or resident within the subdivision should have the perpetual
right of ingress and egress over the described common access drive aisles and that the
perpetual easement should run with the land.
Page 13 of 25
KAPlanning Dept\Eagle ApplicationASUBWOMPredico EP Sub FFCL Post - reconsideration Final.doc
The preliminary plat, date stamped by the City on October 30, 2014, identifies an existing 50-
foot wide right -of -way to be vacated. The applicant has submitted an application to ACRD
requesting a vacation of the abandoned portion of North Ballantyne Lane. Also, the applicant
has indicated within the provided narrative, date stamped by the City on October 30, 2014,
that water service for domestic and fire protection will be provided by Untied Water via a
connection to the existing main located within the abandon ACHD right -of -way. The
preliminary plat does not show an easement associated with the United Water existing water
main. The applicant should provide documentation from ACHD indicating the portion of
existing right -of -way associated with North Ballantyne Lane shown on the preliminary plat to
be vacated as being vacated prior to submittal of a final plat application. The applicant should
provide a revised preliminary plat delineating a United Water service line easement within the
area identified on the preliminary plat as existing R/W (to be vacated) prior to submittal of a
final plat application.
The preliminary plat, date stamped by the City on October 30, 2014, does not delineate nor
reference the locations of public utility, drainage, or irrigation easements. Pursuant to Eagle
City Code Section 9 -3 -8, unobstructed utility and drainage easements a minimum of 12 -feet in
width are to be provided located adjacent to front, rear, and side lot lines. The applicant is
proposing three (3) commercial lots and one (1) residential lot for multi - family dwelling units.
The preliminary plat conceptual improvement plan, date stamped by the City on October 30,
2014, shows the proposed utility lines located within the drive aisles and parking areas. The
applicant should provide a revised preliminary plat delineating a minimum 12 -foot wide
public utility, drainage, and irrigation easement located adjacent to the subdivision perimeter
boundary. The preliminary plat should also delineate or note a public utility, drainage, and
irrigation easement located within the drive aisles and parking areas. The preliminary plat
should be provided prior to submittal of a final plat application.
• Republic Services (solid waste service provider) provided email correspondence that indicated
a concern with the proposed locations and sizes of trash enclosures. The applicant should work
with Republic Services in regard to locations and sizing of the trash enclosures. The applicant
should provide documentation from Republic Services approving the locations and sizing of
the trash enclosures prior to the issuance of a Zoning Certificate

PUBLIC HEARING OF THE COUNCIL:
A. A public hearing on the application was held before the City Council on March 10, 2015, at which
time testimony was taken and the public hearing was closed. The Council made their decision at that
time.
B. Oral testimony in favor of this proposal was presented to the City Council by no one (other than the
applicant/representative).
C. Oral testimony in opposition to this proposal was presented to the City Council by 21 individuals who
expressed the following concerns:
• The proposed multi - family project is not compatible with the surrounding area and is not
consistent with the semi -rural lifestyle enjoyed by the citizens of Eagle.
• The proposal does not meet Eagle's vision and there may be better uses for the site. There is no
benefit to the community by allowing multi - family units at this location.
• The property values of the surrounding area may diminish due to the proximity of the multi - family
units.
• The proposed height of 387' for the multi - family buildings is too high; the buildings should not
exceed two - stories in height.
• This location is not appropriate for three -story structures since it is located on an entry corridor to
the community; the entry corridors are a showcase for Eagle, therefore, locating the project at this
location will disturb the rural atmosphere of the community.
• The proposed multi - family buildings are too bulky; the building design and proposed materials are
questionable and may devalue adjacent properties.
• Craftsman style architecture is not appropriate for three -story structures.
• The site plan doesn't show enough parking to ensure that sufficient parking will be provided.
• Due to the proximity to major roads the development needs an area for children to play safely; the
site needs to be fenced to provide safety for the children living within the development.
• There is not sufficient infrastructure to serve the proposed development (i.e. roads and schools).
• The proposed setbacks may not be in conformance with Eagle City Code.
• The elevations shown may not be the product that is built on the site.
• Will the property be served by pressurized irrigation and if so does the developer have irrigation
rights and access to irrigation?
• Cost of potable water for irrigation.
• The proposed access driveway locations located at the curve on West State Street may be a hazard
to motorists traveling West State Street.
• One (1) of the driveway access points may cause traffic conflicts at the intersection of North
Ballantyne Lane and West State Street.
• The commercial area should not be utilized in the residential density calculation.
• When the property was considered during a previous comprehensive plan amendment in 2000
high density was never discussed; in 2000, during the original comprehensive plan map and text
amendment, apartments were not considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
• The proposed tot lots are not large enough.
• The adjacent corner of West State Street and SH -44 does not contain a sidewalk for crossing West
State Street or SH -44 to provide access to the greenbelt.
• The developer has not cooperated with the surrounding property owners.
• A work, live, play development would work well at this location.
• The Council should follow the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation.
