THE MASTER PLAN OF THE CITY OF EAGLE
INTRODUCTION
T0: ALL CITIZENS OF EAGLE AND VICINITY
WHEREAS, the City of Eagle presently enjoys a unique,
semi -rural life style, as yet unspoiled by the
destruction of natural foliage, exclusion of sunshine,
crowding of dwellings, and the noise and danger of heavy
traffic and industries;
WHEREAS, the City of Eagle enjoys the advantages of
clean air, free -running waterways and ample wooded areas,
is adequately served with sewage and sanitation facilities
that are capable of expansion, and enjoys convenient
access to outdoor recreation areas, to trading centers
and to employment centers;
WHEREAS, the population of this City and of the
surrounding countryside is rapidly expanding as
families move into this area from less advantageously
endowed parts of Ada County, this rapid population growth
threatening to reduce those very amenities which attracted
families to move here; and
THEREFORE, the City Council of Eagle, Idaho, directed
by the work of the Planning and Zoning Commission of
Eagle and with advice and aid provided by the staff of
Ada Council of Governments, do present for your approval
the following guidelines for the future growth and
development of our City.
GOALS AND POLICIES
1. The City of Eagle shall be maintained as a
compact residential, distinctly friendly community,
with a distinct identity.
2. It shall strive to maintain a low tax rate
through protection of the quality of the property
tax base and the stabilization of property values. Mutually
convenient location of shopping facilities and residential
areas for those who do not use motorized vehicles shall be
encouraged.
3. The uses of land in Eagle shall be located and
designed so as to avoid the undesirable impact of
one land use upon another, to protect the integrity of each
neighborhood as well as to avoid the unsafe traffic patterns
resulting from imcompatible uses. To implement this, all
land uses in Eagle shall be prohibited which emit poisonous
or obnoxious chemicals, particles, vapors, or other substances
into the air, into the surface waters of Dry Creek or of the
Boise River or into the surface waters. No land use will be
permitted which generates traffic beyond the safe and
efficient operating capacity of the streets or highways
serving Eagle. The location of activities creating loud
and prolonged noises as well as hazardous, unhealthy or
otherwise undesirable conditions will not be permitted.
-2-
4. No land use shall be permitted in these areas
designated by the Army Corps of Engineers as lying
within the "Standard Project Flood Plain" of the Boise
River or of Dry Creek, according to the most recent flood
plain survey, which may result in subjecting human life or
property to the risk of damage from floods, or which may
result in obstructing the normal flow of flood waters or
raising the level of water during a flood.
5. All streets shall be located and built in
accordance with the official standards of the
Ada County Highway District. Residential areas shall
have access from more than one direction.
6. No land use activity which will attract any
significant amount of traffic from outside its
immediate vicinity shall be permitted without direct access
onto a street built to arterial standards. For the purpose
of this policy, a shopping center or a planned unit develop-
ment shall be considered to be a single activity.
7. Strip commercial development shall be discouraged
and group marketing and parking (shopping mall type
development) encouraged. Vehicular entrances to any land
use from an arterial class street shall be not less than
300 feet apart and adequate off-street traffic lanes shall
be provided. Adequate off-street parking shall be
required for all land uses.
8. All new buildings intended for human use and
habitation within the Service Area of the City of
Eagle shall be served by the Eagle Public Sewer System.
The expense of all lines or other improvements required to
provide service to a new building or subdivision shall be
born by the applicant as a condition of granting a building
or subdivision permit.
9. The subdivision and development of lands designated
as residential or commercial according to the concept
of "Planned Unit Development" shall be encouraged, in order
to provide for greater flexibility, variety and amenity
in the living environment of Eagle.
10. No industrial use or activity shall be permitted
within the City of Eagle without adequate showing by
the applicant that the operation will constitute no
danger to the health, safety or comfort of any resident
of Eagle.
11. The expense of technical advice, consultation,
or services attendant upon consideration by the City
Council of any activity, subdivision, zone change, or
other request for permit, shall be borne by the applicant
for such permit before final decision by the City Council
can be taken.
-3-
12. All Ordinances, public decisions and public
actions taken by the City Council of Eagle or by any
other official agency of the City of Eagle shall conform
to these goals and policies and to the Land Use Plan which
is located in the City Hall of the City of Eagle.
LAND USE PLAN
