STAFF ANALYSIS PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT:
A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN
REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL:
• 5.5 Economic Development Implementation Strategies
C. Encourage a diversity of uses in the Downtown Eagle.
• 6.3 Land Use Designations:
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map (Adopted February 10, 2015), designates this site as
the following:
Downtown
Suitable primarily for development that accommodates and encourages further expansion and
renewal in the downtown core business area of the community. A variety of business, public,
quasi -public, cultural, residential and other related uses are encouraged. The greatest possible
concentration of retail sales and business is to occur in this land use designation. Pedestrian
friendly uses and developments are encouraged. Land within this district is the only place to
utilize the CBD zoning designation. Other zones within Downtown Eagle may include Mixed
Use, Residential, Commercial and Professional Office.
• 6.6 Land Use Implementation Strategies
C. Provide for a broad spectrum of housing types including apartments, townhouses,
condominiums, single family attached, manufactured homes, affordable and subsidized
housing and large acreage developments.
G. Locate higher -density residential development closest to Downtown Eagle and activity
centers as shown on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map.
N. Promote commercial service and retail development within Downtown Eagle that
contributes to a pedestrian friendly environment.
Page 5 of 24
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2017\Kestrel Commons Sub pz£docx
• 6.8.13 Downtown Eagle Plan
Goal 1:
Infill Develovment: Encourage high density and intensity development to locate in Downtown
Eagle creating a more vibrant center. Encourage and promote residential uses in and within
walking distance of Downtown Eagle enabling a more efficient use of the existing
infrastructure investment and resources while offsetting the high cost of land and creating a
more convenient place to live and work.
a. Encourage the development of unique and diverse land uses within Downtown Eagle
that provide harmony in form but promote a variety in function.
b. Encourage the use of terraced (stepped back) vertical mixed use buildings that allow
for office, commercial, retail, and residential within a single building while
reducing/avoiding a monolithic building wall along the street and sidewalk plane.
c. Allow for the intermingling of daily convenience uses (grocery, cleaners) with
destination uses (restaurants, pubs, and art galleries).
d. Take advantage of the existing infrastructure (sewer, water, and roads) to increase the
intensity of downtown (employment and housing) while designing a unique pedestrian
environment (wide sidewalks, cafe seating, trees, and public art) within and adjacent
to the existing rights of way.
e. Avoid conventional development and single -use zoning that compartmentalizes
housing, shopping, and business uses; that focuses on large vehicular thoroughfares
and limited pedestrian connectivity.
f. Promote the use of parking structures, rear/alley loaded parking, and on -street parking
to discourage large surface lots within Downtown Eagle.
Diversity of Housing Choices: Promote a range of housing types and price levels that bring
people of diverse ages and incomes into daily interaction to strengthen personal and civic
bonds, and the attachment to the community. Encourage a variety of dwelling types such as:
houses, bungalow courts, row houses, live/work units, lofts, and apartments to ensure that
younger and older people, singles and families, and all income levels can find a place to live.
Broader housing options within downtown reduce the pressure for higher density in other
portions of the community. Creating an active residential presence in downtown reduces the
daily transportation issues (congestion and parking) commonly found in commercially
dominated downtowns.
B. ZONING ORDINANCE PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING
THIS PROPOSAL:
• Eagle City Code Section 8-2-1: Districts Established, Purposes and Restrictions:

C. SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN
REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL:
• Eagle City Code Section 9-2-3 (B)(1-5)
Combining Preliminary and Final Plat in Minor Subdivisions: The applicant may request that
the subdivision application be processed as both a preliminary and final plat if all the following
exist:
1. The proposed subdivision does not exceed ten (10) lots;
2. No new street dedication or street widening is involved;
3. No major special development considerations are involved such as development in a
floodplain, hillside development or the like;
4. All required information for both preliminary and fmal plat is complete and in an acceptable
form; and
5. The proposed subdivision is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan or any provision
of the Zoning Title of the City.
• Eagle City Code Section 9-3-2-1(C): Stub Streets:
Where adjoining areas are not subdivided, the arrangement of streets in new subdivisions shall
be such that said streets extend to the boundary line of the tract to make provisions for the
future extension of said streets into adjacent areas, and shall have a cul-de-sac or temporary
cul-de-sac. A reserve street may be required and held in public ownership.
• Eagle City Code Section 9-4-1-9(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.
The city has adopted supplemental standards and regulations (titled "Pressure Irrigation
Standards", incorporated herein by reference and available at Eagle city hall) pertaining to
the design, construction and maintenance of pressurized irrigation systems. Plans and
documents reflecting the required standards and regulations shall be submitted with the
application for a preliminary plat.
The following design requirements and the requirements provided within the supplemental
"Pressure Irrigation Standards" shall apply to the pressurized irrigation system. These
standards shall supplement all other regulations, and where at variance with other laws,
regulations, ordinances or resolutions, the more restrictive requirements shall apply. The
council may determine that revisions to the supplemental standards are warranted and make
such revisions by act of a resolution.
a. The pressurized irrigation system may have a backup connection to a potable water
system with the approval of the city, city engineer, and the potable water purveyor, and
the installation of a state approved reduced pressure backflow prevention assembly or
an air gap separating the irrigation system and the potable water system. The operation,
maintenance, associated costs, and annual inspection of the backup connection and the
backup system's reduced pressure backflow prevention assembly shall be the
responsibility of the entities as determined in "Pressure Irrigation Standards" of this
section. Individual backup connections to individual lots by individual lot owners shall
be prohibited with the exception of the common area lots owned and maintained by the
homeowners' association.
Page 11 of 24
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\ SUBS\2017\Kestrel Commons Sub pzEdocx
b. The pressurized irrigation system shall be designed by a licensed professional engineer
registered in the state of Idaho, and the construction plans for the system shall be
reviewed and approved by the city engineer.
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 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:
• Staff has reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed combined preliminary
and final plat and, in terms of Eagle City Code Section 9-2-3(B) "1 thru 5" (minimum criteria
to combine a preliminary and fmal plat), has made the following conclusions:
The proposed combined preliminary and fmal plat:
1. Does not exceed ten (10) lots;
2. No new street dedication or street widening is involved;
3. No major special development considerations are involved such as development in a
floodplain, hillside development or the like.
4. All required information for both preliminary and fmal plat is complete and in an
acceptable form; and
5. The proposed subdivision is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan or any
provision of the Zoning Title of the City.
• The applicant is proposing to align the property boundaries between Lot 1, Block 1, and Lot 2,
Block 1, to coincide with the south -facing wall of the building and the dividing wall between
the commercial and residential portions of the building. The final location of the building could
potentially be modified through the site design analysis that is typically a component of the
design review process. While the site design will be more thoroughly vetted in that process,
staff recognizes the need to preliminarily assess the layout of the site as a portion of the platting
process. To avoid having to make modifications to the plat due to potential changes to the
building layoutllocation following a review by the Design Review Board, the Commission and
Council may require changes to the building layoutllocation at this time if it is deemed
necessary to ensure compliance with Eagle City Code and the comprehensive plan.
• The preliminary plat, date stamped by the city on April 6, 2017, shows the existing five-foot
(5') wide sidewalk located within the right-of-way adjacent to the site. No additional sidewalk
improvements are shown. Eagle City Code Section 8 -2A -6(G)(13) requires sidewalks within
the Transitional Development Area (TDA) to be a minimum of ten -feet (10') wide or a
minimum of eight -feet (8') wide with a ten -foot (10') wide landscape strip between the sidewalk
and curb. The applicant should be required to provide a revised preliminary plat showing a ten -
foot (10') wide (minimum) sidewalk or an eight -foot (8') wide (minimum) sidewalk with a ten -
foot (10') wide (minimum) landscape strip prior to the submittal of a design review application.
The design and appearance of the sidewalk should be reviewed as a part of the design review
application for the site.
O The preliminary plat, date stamped by the city on April 6, 2017, shows the commercial portion
of the proposed building located on Lot 1, Block 1, and the residential portion of the proposed
building and the parking area located on Lot 2, Block 1. Nine (9) parking spaces are required
for the commercial use. Joint parking is addressed in the CC&Rs for the subdivision, however
no joint parking agreement for the site has been submitted to date. The applicant should be
required to provide a copy of the joint parking agreement between Lot 1, Block 1, and Lot 2,
Block 1, of Kestrel Commons Subdivision which conforms to Eagle City Code Section 8-4-4-
3(A)(6). The joint parking agreement should be reviewed and approved by the City Attorney
prior to the submittal of a design review application. The joint parking agreement should be
recorded at the Ada County Recorder's Office prior to the City Clerk signing the final plat.

o The preliminary plat, date stamped by the city on April 6, 2017, shows a cross -access driveway
to the parcel to the north connecting to the adjoining parking lot in an area marked as a loading
zone for the trash enclosure. The applicant should be required to provide documentation from
Republic Services approving the design of the site prior to the submittal of a design review
application.
• The preliminary plat, date stamped by the city on April 6, 2017, shows a future cross -access
driveway to the parcel to the east. The access point is proposed to be located twenty -feet (20')
north of the property boundary, generally in alignment with the southern wall of the adjacent
house.

The current location of the access point would reduce the width of the developable area on the
parcel to the east to approximately 40 -feet. For reference, the structure proposed to be located
within Kestrel Commons Subdivision is approximately 52 -feet wide. To avoid creating
unnecessary development constraints on the parcel to the east, the applicant should provide a
revised preliminary plat and fmal plat with the cross -access point to the parcel to the east
located adjacent to the landscape buffer along the southern boundary of the site. The revised
preliminary plat and fmal plat should be provided prior to the submittal of a design review
application for the site.

Figure 2: Preferred Cross -Access Alignment
• The final plat, date stamped by the city on April 6, 2017, does not identify the location of the
cross -access easements shown on the preliminary plat. The applicant should provide a revised
final plat showing cross access easements to the parcels to the north and east prior to the City
Clerk signing the final plat.
• The preliminary plat, date stamped by the city on April 6, 2017, shows parking spaces which
are 17 -feet in depth. Eagle City Code Section 8-4-4-2(F) requires standard 90° parking spaces
to be 19 -feet in depth. The applicant is requesting a waiver from the parking space depth
requirement to align the cross -access driveway to the parcel to east as far south as possible
while still buffering the residential lots to the south with landscaping. Staff recommends
approval of the requested waiver from the required parking space depth.
• The preliminary plat, date stamped by the city on April 6, 2017, shows a three-foot (3') wide
landscape buffer located between the parking area and the south and east property boundaries.
Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(J)(2)(b) requires a five-foot (5') wide landscape buffer
between parking lots and residential activities. The applicant's narrative, date stamped by the
city on April 6, 2017, states, "We respectfully request to allow a reduction in the required
parking lot landscape buffer from five (5) feet to three (3) feet along the south and east
boundaries. This allows the project to provide better shared cross access to the northerly and
easterly properties as requested by City Planning Department staff."
Page 15 of 24
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications \ SUBS \2017\Kestrel Commons Sub pzfdocx
A five-foot (5') wide public utilities, drainage, and irrigation (PUDI) easement currently exists
along the northern and southern property boundaries. The PUDI easements would preclude the
construction of structures, but landscaping and hard surfaces such as parking lots and drive
aisles are permitted to encroach. It is unlikely that large plants such as trees would be able to
survive within a three-foot (3') wide landscape buffer due to constraints on the root systems.
Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(J)(3)(a) requires landscaping within buffer areas to be a mix
of trees, shrubs, and ground cover. The applicant should be required to provide a revised
preliminary plat showing a five-foot (5') wide landscape buffer located adjacent to the southern
and eastern property boundaries. The revised preliminary plat shall be provided prior to the
submittal of a design review application for the site.
• The final plat, date stamped by the city on June 7, 2017, is titled "Kestrel Commons Subdivision
No. 1." As there are no additional phases proposed with this application, the applicant should
provide a revised fmal plat titled "Kestrel Commons Subdivision" prior to the City Clerk
signing the final plat.
• The applicant is requesting a waiver from the requirement to provide pressurized irrigation for
the site. The applicant has provided documentation indicating that the site does not have surface
water rights associated with it and that water is not being provided by New Dry Creek Ditch
Company (the irrigation purveyor responsible for providing surface water to the area). The
applicant is proposing to utilize domestic water for maintenance of the landscaping, parking
area, and exterior of the building. The applicant is suggesting that the water demanded for
landscaping will be relatively small because of the size of the landscaped areas and the plants
being utilized. The applicant should be required to utilize only plants classified by the United
States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service PLANTS Database
as distributed in Ada County, native to the contiguous United States, and highly drought
resistant. The specific landscape design should be reviewed and approved by the Design
Review Board prior to the City Clerk signing the final plat. Staff recommends approval of the
waiver from the requirement to provide pressurized irrigation for the site as the applicant has
provided documentation that sufficient surface irrigation water rights do not exist for the site.
G 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 multi -family dwellings may be permitted in the CBD (Central
Business District) zoning district with the approval of a conditional use permit, and
exceptions or waivers of zoning standards (reduction of landscape buffer and parking space
depth) may be permitted through the issuance of a conditional use permit, pursuant to Idaho
Code Section 67-6512(f);
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 multi -family dwellings are
permitted with the approval of a conditional use permit within the CBD (Central Business
District) zoning district and the Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Downtown.
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 site design and
building architecture will be reviewed by the Eagle Design Review Board prior to approval;
Page 16 of 24
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications \SUBS\201 TKestrel Commons Sub pzf docx
D. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighborhood uses since the site
will have adequate shared parking through the use of a joint parking agreement and no
adverse impacts on surrounding properties from mulit-family dwellings are anticipated.
Additionally, the site will be designed in a way that will help to facilitate redevelopment
and improve future neighborhood uses;
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 since the site has adequate access to utilities
and roadways, and will be served by Eagle Sewer District, Eagle Water Company, Eagle
Fire Department, and West Ada School District.
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
infrastructure is already in place to serve the proposed multi -family dwellings;
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;
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 public street (South Kestrel Place), 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 scenic or historic features of major importance on the
site other than significant existing trees. All trees are proposed to be retained or replaced.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
1. The Commission reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed combined
preliminary/final plat (PP/FP-02-17) and based upon the information provided concludes that the
proposed combined preliminary plat/final plat application is in accordance with the City of Eagle Title
9 (Subdivisions) because:
a. The subdivision will be harmonious with and in accordance with the general objectives or with any
specific objective of the Comprehensive Plan and/or Eagle City Code Title 9, as shown within the
findings provided within this document and the proposed use is in accordance with the Downtown
Page 22 of 24
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications \SUBS\2017\Kestrel Commons Sub pzf docx
land use designation of this area shown within the Comprehensive Plan;
b. The subdivision will be served adequately by essential public facilities such as streets, police and
fire protection, schools, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer; 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 the documentation provided from said agencies and as required as a
part of the conditions of approval;
c. That there are no known capital improvement programs for which this development would prevent
continuity;

attention have been adequately addressed by the applicant or will be conditions of approval as set
forth within the conditions of approval herein.
2. The Commission reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed combined
preliminary/final plat (PP/FP-02-17) and, in terms of Eagle City Code Section 9-2-3(B) "1 thru 5"
(minimum criteria to combine a preliminary and final plat), has made the following conclusions:
The proposed combined preliminary and final plat:
1. Does not exceed ten (10) lots;
2. No new street dedication or street widening is involved;
3. No major special development considerations are involved such as development in a floodplain,
hillside development or the like.
4. All required information for both preliminary and final plat is complete and in an acceptable form;
and
5. The proposed subdivision is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan or any provision of the
Zoning Title of the City.
3. The Commission reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of the proposed conditional use (CU -
02 -17) in terms of Eagle City Code Section 8-7-3-2, "General Standards For Conditional Uses" and has
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 multi -family dwellings may be permitted in the CBD (Central Business District)
zoning district with the approval of a conditional use permit, and exceptions or waivers of zoning
standards (reduction of landscape buffer and parking space depth) may be permitted through the
issuance of a conditional use permit, pursuant to Idaho Code Section 67-6512(0;
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 multi -family dwellings are permitted with
the approval of a conditional use permit within the CBD (Central Business District) zoning district
and the Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Downtown.
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 site design and building architecture will
be reviewed by the Eagle Design Review Board prior to approval;
D. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighborhood uses since the site will have
Page 23 of 24
K\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications \SUBS\2017 \ Kestrel Commons Sub pz£docx
adequate shared parking through the use of a joint parking agreement and no adverse impacts on
surrounding properties from mulit-family dwellings are anticipated. Additionally, the site will be
designed in a way that will help to facilitate redevelopment and improve future neighborhood uses;
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 since the site has adequate access to utilities and roadways, and will be served
by Eagle Sewer District, Eagle Water Company, Eagle Fire Department, and West Ada School
District.
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 infrastructure is
already in place to serve the proposed multi -family dwellings;
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;
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 public street
(South Kestrel Place), 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 scenic or historic features of major importance on the site other than
significant existing trees. All trees are proposed to be retained or replaced (subject to review and
approval by the design review board).
