C. IDAHO STATUTE PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING
THIS PROPOSAL:
• Idaho Code Section 67- 6512(f) Special Use Permits, Conditions, and Procedures:
In addition to other processes permitted by this chapter, exceptions or waivers of standards,
other than use, inclusive of the subject matter addressed by section 67 -6516, Idaho Code, in a
zoning ordinance may be permitted through issuance of a special use permit or by
administrative process specified by ordinance, subject to such conditions as may be imposed
pursuant to a local ordinance drafted to implement subsection (d) of this section.
D. DISCUSSION:
The applicant is requesting conditional use permit approval to allow for a contractor's yard to
be located behind (north of) the existing building located at 1740 East State Street. The
building and site was previously utilized as a daycare center with a play area located behind
(north of) the existing building. The applicant is proposing to utilize the existing building as
an office. The applicant is also proposing to convert the play area (located on the north side of
the building) to a contractor's yard. The applicant is proposing to store building materials and
small equipment consisting of a job trailer, dump trailer, and delivery truck associated with the
applicant's construction business. The approval of a conditional use permit should be limited
to the applicant and/or the applicant's construction business. The area located behind the
building is currently screened with vinyl fencing. The proposed use is similar to the existing
uses currently located adjacent to the site.
Pursuant to Eagle City Code, Section 8- 3 -5(H), a contractor's yard is required to be located a
minimum of 300 -feet from any residence (except for an owner's residence). There are four (4)
residences located on South Conover Street within 300 -feet of the proposed use, however, the
property located between the proposed contractor's yard and the residences contains two (2)
large buildings that block the view of the contractor's yard from the residences (see attached
exhibits "A" and `B "). Pursuant to Idaho Code Section §67- 6512(f) exceptions or waivers of
standards, other than use, inclusive of the subject matter addressed by Idaho Code Section
§67 -6516, in a zoning ordinance may be permitted through issuance of a special use permit
(conditional use permit). Since the view from the residential homes of the proposed
contractor's yard is blocked by the two (2) large buildings staff would recommend that a
setback waiver reducing the minimum distance of the contractor's yard to the closest residence
(located on South Conover Street) of 230 -feet be approved with the subject conditional use
permit.
Page 7 of 13
KAPlanning DeptTagle ApplicationACUA201 ACU -01 -I S Lombardo ccf.doc
The existing building located on -site is 6,262 - square feet in size. The applicant is proposing a
change of use for the building from daycare to multi -tenant office. Pursuant to Eagle City
Code Section 8 -4 -5, the required parking for offices, business and professional is one (1) space
per two - hundred fifty (250) square feet. The required number of parking spaces required for
the existing building based on an office use is twenty -five (25) spaces. The applicant should be
required to provide a revised site plan showing a minimum of twenty -five (25) parking spaces
to be reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board prior to the issuance of a Zoning
Certificate.
PUBLIC HEARING OF THE COMMISSION:
A. A public hearing on the application was held before the Planning and Zoning Commission on May 18,
2015, at which time testimony was taken and the public hearing was closed. The Commission made
their recommendation at that time.
B. Oral testimony in favor of this proposal was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission by no
one (other than the applicant/representative).
C. Oral testimony in opposition to this proposal was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission
by no one.
COMMISSION DELIBERATION:
Upon closing the public hearing, the Commission discussed during deliberation that:
• The applicant will be required to screen the area to be utilized for the storage of materials.
• The setback waiver should be approved since there are large commercial buildings (located on the
adjacent property east of the proposed use) that are located between the proposed use and the
residential homes located within 300 -feet of the contractor's yard.
COMMISSION DECISION:
The Commission voted 3 -0 (Koellisch and Villegas absent) to recommend approval of CU -01 -15 for a

and conclusions of law document, dated June 1, 2015.

3. The Council reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of the proposed conditional use (CU -01-
15) in terms of Eagle City Code Section 8- 7 -3 -2, "General Standards For Conditional Uses" and has
concluded that the proposed conditional use:

Code Title 8) for the zoning district involved since a contractor's yard requires approval of a
conditional use permit; and
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 Eagle City Code contains provisions which
allow for a contractor's yard to be located in the C -2 (General Business District) zoning district
with the approval of a conditional use permit. Additionally, in accordance with Idaho Code 67-

6512(f), a waiver of Eagle City Code Section 8 -3 -5 (H)(1) which requires the contractor's yard to
be located a minimum distance of 300 -feet from any residence is approved and the setback will be
reduced to 230 -feet since the contractor's yard is not visible from the residences; and
C. Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to be harmonious and appropriate in

be storing building materials, trailers, and a delivery truck. Also, the proposed contractor's yard

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 since the site is already developed and served by adequate infrastructure; and

and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community since the applicant is not
proposing any new development on the site; and
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 is only proposing to

with traffic on surrounding public thoroughfares since the access points to the site already exist;
