THE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD RECEIVED AND REVIEWED THE FOLLOWING STAFF
ANALYSIS PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT:
A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING
THIS PROPOSAL:
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map (adopted November 15, 2017), designates this site as the
following:
Foothills Residential
A unique combination of land uses within the Eagle Foothills that strives to balance residential, non-
residential,and open space(developed and natural)use to create unique hamlets of development that
place urban development within the natural environment without overcrowding or significantly
altering the natural features found on the site. The density for unconstrained lands in the foothills
Page 4 of 11
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Dr\2021\Spring Valley Water Tank No.2 DR-75-21\Spring Valley Water Tank No.2 drf docx
should be approximately 1 unit per tow acres. Residential densities should be calculated to be
commensurate with the existing land conditions. Priorities for open space areas should be granted for
areas located within the floodway, slopes more than 25%, or sensitive/critical habitat. These areas
should be sued as open space. Units should be arranged in accordance with the transect plan as
described in the Foothills planning area.
B. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN
REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL:
1. MASTER PLANS; PLANNING UNIT PLANS.
1.1 Conditions of Development. Developer shall develop the Property subject to the conditions
and limitations set forth in this Agreement. Further,Developer shall submit such
applications regarding design review, preliminary and final plat reviews, condominium plat
reviews,PUD and/or any conditional use permits,as and if applicable,and any other
applicable applications as may be required by the Zoning Ordinance,except as otherwise
provided within this Agreement.
C. ZONING CODE PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS
PROPOSAL:
• Eagle City Code Section 11A-3-1: GENERAL APPLICABILITY:
This title applies to all proposed development located within Spring Valley and requires the
submittal of a design review application pursuant to this title and fee as prescribed from time to
time by the city council.
The following are specifically excluded from the requirements of design review: development of
an individual single-family detached dwelling on a single parcel, an individual duplex(2 dwelling
units),and an individual townhome consisting of a maximum of two(2)dwelling units.
• Eagle City Code Section 11A-3-7 LANDSCAPE AND BUFFER AREA REQUIREMENTS:
A. Overview And Intent: The existing(nondeveloped) landscape character of Spring Valley,and
much of the North Eagle Foothills, is predominantly nonnative grasslands with some shrubs
and agriculture and is quite different from the rest of Eagle and the Boise River corridor which
contain dense plantings and large buffer areas along arterials and collector roadways, irrigated
pastures, and riparian woodlands. The intent of these standards is to provide a landscape
character that is appropriate to the foothills and balances aesthetics and livability with water
demands and availability. These standards promote water conservation through the use of
treated effluent for irrigation,efficient irrigation systems,and the use of native and other plants
that require little or no irrigation to survive. In addition, these guidelines shall be used in
conjunction with the grading guidelines and hillside development standards,habitat mitigation
plan and wildfire management plan.
The landscape concept for Spring Valley can be best described as a"foothills landscape".This
concept is based on the landscape of the Northern Rocky Mountain Foothills and high plains
prairie. Foothills landscape will be characterized by diverse layers of both deciduous and
evergreen shrubs and trees that will create interest through its broad palette of indigenous
material and other plants,including turf,utilized throughout the region.This concept also takes
advantage of soil and exposure conditions to develop potential vineyard groves throughout the
community with the rolling foothills as the backdrop.
• Eagle City Code Section 11A-3-7(F)Installation And Minimum Standards:
2. Soil and slope stabilization must result after landscape installation. Soil and slope stabilization
measures shall comply with those contained in the Spring Valley grading guidelines and
Page 5 of 11
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Dr\2021\Spring Valley Water Tank No.2 DR-75-21\Spring Valley Water Tank No.2 dr£dock
hillside development standards. Manufactured slopes shall be revegetated within the first
planting season following completion of construction.
3. Revegetation of slopes and other areas intended to reestablish native vegetation shall use a site
specific,city approved upland revegetation seed mix consisting of plants contained in the native
open space and upland revegetation plant list contained in subsection Y of this section.Native
species are emphasized,but desirable nonnative species may also be used.Plugs,potted plants
and transplants and a variety of grasses,forbs and shrubs may be added to reestablish a diverse
stand of native or desirable plant species. Additional plants not on the list may be proposed,
but must be approved by the city on the environmental landscape plan of the applicable PUMP.
D. DISCUSSION:
• The applicant is requesting design review approval to construct a 7,854-square foot concrete water
tank within Spring Valley PUMP No. 1. The site will be accessed by a 20-foot wide gravel access
road. A 6-foot high wrought iron fence will be located around the perimeter of the tank and access
to the water tank will be though a 14-foot wide wrought iron gate. The applicant is proposing to
plant the access road and the area around the water tank with a native upland seed mixture. Staff
defers comment regarding the design of the water tank, the proposed landscaping, and fencing to
the Design Review Board.
