C. IDAHO CODE PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS
PROPOSAL:
• Idaho Code Section 67- 6512(f):
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.
C. DISCUSSION:
• The site plan, date stamped by the City on July 14, 2015, identifies eight (8) parking spaces
located within the site. The proposed use is similar to an "Industry (custom)" use as identified
in Eagle City Code Section 8 -1 -2. Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8 -4 -5, an Industry
Page 8 of 15
KAPlanning DeptTagle ApplicationACUA201 SCU -06 -15 Cabinet Shop ccf doc
(custom) use requires one (1) space per 1000 - square feet gross area used for industrial
purposes, plus one (1) space per 300 - square feet office or sales area. The site plan also shows
that a portion of the building is going to be utilized for storage. The proposed 5,447- square
foot building consists of a 902 - square foot showroom, 3,315- square feet of industrial (custom)
area, and 1,230- square feet of storage area. As identified in the Staff Analysis Section L
above, the proposed use requires a total of nine (9) parking spaces. The applicant provided a
narrative, date stamped by the City on July 14, 2015, that indicates they need five (5) parking
spaces for employee's usage and three (3) for customers and daily traffic. Pursuant to Idaho
Code Section §67- 6512(f), the applicant is requesting a waiver to ECC 8 -4 -5 to allow a one
(1) space reduction.
The applicant is also requesting approval of a waiver to remove the requirement for the
construction of curb, gutter, and sidewalk along the portions of the site fronting East State
Street and Dunyon Street. There are currently no curb, gutter, or sidewalk improvements
located within this area. If curb, gutter, and sidewalk improvements were proposed to be
constructed they should be constructed for the block in its entirety and not just one (1)
property at a time so that the curbs and gutters can be properly designed for storm water
drainage.
• 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 cabinet shop may be permitted in the MU (Mixed Use District)
zoning district with the 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 since a cabinet shop is
permitted with the approval of a conditional use permit with the MU (Mixed Use District)
zoning district and the Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Residential; and
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 property is
surrounded by other commercial uses; and
D. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighborhood uses since the
subject parcel is surrounded by commercial lots and will be fully landscaped; and
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 public services and the cabinet shop will be connected to central sewer and
water; and
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
applicant will be connecting the cabinet shop into existing central sewer and central water
and access will be provided from an existing street;
Page 9 of 15
KAPlanning Dept\Eagle Applications\CUA2015TU -0 &15 Cabinet Shop cddoc
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; and
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 is served by an
existing driveway; and
I. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of
major importance since there are no existing trees and there are no scenic or historic
features of major importance on the site.

concluded that 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 cabinet shop may be permitted in the MU (Mixed Use District) zoning
district with the 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 since a cabinet shop is permitted with the
approval of a conditional use permit with the MU (Mixed Use District) zoning district;
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 design of the proposed structure must
meet the City's design review requirements; and
D. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighborhood uses since the cabinetry
work will be done within the structure; and
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 public services and the
cabinet shop will be connected to central sewer and water; and
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 applicant will be
connecting the cabinet shop into existing central sewer and central water and access will be
provided from an existing street;
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
