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 14, 2017) designates this site as
Compact Residential.
Compact Residential
Suitable for single-family residential, row houses, duplex, and four plexes. Densities range from 4
units per acre to 8 units per acre.
Residential Transition Overlay
Residential development that provides for transition between land use categories and uses.
Commonly requires a transition/change in density, lot sizing, and building scaling with a specific
parcel or project. Base densities may be reduced or units may be clustered to increase open space
within a portion of a site when property is in this overlay. Neighborhood design will be paramount
in this overlay to ensure appropriate transition between uses. See specific planning areas for further
description.
B. ZONING ORDINANCE PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING
THIS PROPOSAL:
• Eagle City Code, Section 8-2-1 Districts Established Purposes And Restrictions:
The following zoning districts are hereby established. For the interpretation of this title the zoning
districts have been formulated to realize the general purposes as set forth in this title. In addition,
the specific purpose of each zoning district shall be as follows:
R -E RESIDENTIAL -ESTATES DISTRICT: To provide opportunities for very low density
residential land use compatible with the topography and public service capacities. Gross density
shall not exceed one single-family dwelling unit per two (2) acres.

C. DISCUSSION: None
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT:
Based upon the information provided to staff to date, staff recommends approval of the requested
annexation and rezone from RUT (Rural -Urban Transition — Ada County designation) to R -E (Residential -
Estates.
PUBLIC HEARING OF THE COMMISSION:
A. A public hearing on the application was held before the Planning and Zoning Commission on April 2,
2018, at which time testimony was taken and the public hearing was closed. The Commission made
their recommendation at that time.
B. Oral testimony in opposition to the application was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission
by no one.
C. Oral testimony in favor of the application was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission by
no one (other than the applicant/representative).
D. Oral testimony neither in favor of nor in opposition to the application was presented to the Planning
and Zoning Commission by one (1) individual who requested a larger setback be required for structures
located adjacent to the property line shared by the applicant and the person testifying.
COMMISSION DELIBERATION: (Granicus time 13:06)
Upon closing the public hearing, the Commission discussed during deliberation that:
• Based on the required side setback of 20 -feet, no water from the neighbors sprinklers should hit any of
the structures located on the property, so there is no reason to increase the side setback located adjacent
to the north property line.
COMMISSION DECISION:
The Commission voted 4 to 0 (Wright absent) to recommend approval of A-02-18 & RZ-02-18 for an
annexation and rezone from RUT (Rural -Urban Transition — Ada County designation) to R -E (Residential -
Estates) for Roy and Natasha Flook as provided within their findings of fact and conclusions of law
document, dated April 16, 2018.
PUBLIC HEARING OF THE COUNCIL:
A. A public hearing on the application was held before the City Council on May 8, 2018, at which time
testimony was taken and the public hearing was closed. The Council made their decision at that time.
B. Oral testimony in opposition to the application was presented to the City Council by no one.
C. Oral testimony in favor of the application was presented to the City Council by no one (other than the
applicant/representative).
COUNCIL DECISION:
The Council voted 4 to 0 to approve A-02-18 & RZ-02-18 for an annexation and rezone from RUT (Rural -
Urban Transition — Ada County designation) to R -E (Residential -Estates) for Roy and Natasha Flook, as
shown on Exhibit "A" attached hereto.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
1. The Council reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed rezone upon annexation
(A-02-18 & RZ-02-18) with regard to Eagle City Code Section 8-7-5 "Action by the Commission and
Council", and based upon the information provided concludes that the proposed rezone upon
annexation is in accordance with the City of Eagle Comprehensive Plan and established goals and

objectives because:
a. The requested zoning designation of R -E (Residential -Estates) is consistent with the Compact
Residential and Residential Transition Overlay designations as shown on the Comprehensive Plan
Land Use Map since the proposed zone limits the density to less than the density allowed within
the Compact Residential designation;
b. The information provided from the agencies having jurisdiction over the public facilities needed
for this site indicate that adequate public facilities exist, or are expected to be provided, to serve all
uses allowed on this property under the proposed zone;
c. The proposed R -E (Residential -Estates) zone is compatible with the RUT (Residential -Urban
Transition — Ada County Designation) and R 1 (Residential — Ada County designation) zones and
land uses to the north, east, and west since those areas contain single-family dwellings and may be
developed similar or with higher density at a future date;
d. The proposed R -E (Residential -Estates) zone is compatible with the MU -DA (Mixed Use with a
development agreement) zone and land use to the south since that area may be developed with
commercial uses or higher density uses in the future;
e. The land proposed for rezone is not located within a "Hazard Area" and "Special Area" as described
within the Comprehensive Plan; and
f. No non -conforming uses are expected to be created with this rezone.
