COMMISSION DECISION: The Commission voted 3 to 0 (Wright and McLaughlin absent) to recommend approval of A-04-18 & RZ- 06-18 for an annexation and rezone from RUT (Rural -Urban Transition — Ada County designation) to A -R (Agricultural -Residential) for Brian Bailey. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: 1. The Commission reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed rezone upon annexation (A-04-18 & RZ-06-18) 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 A -R (Agricultural -Residential) is consistent with the Estate Residential designation as shown on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map; b. The information provided from the agencies having jurisdiction over the public facilities needed for this site indicate that adequate public facilities exist including an on-site well and septic system, or are expected to be provided, to serve the uses currently located on this property under the proposed zone; c. The proposed A -R (Agricultural -Residential) zone is compatible with the RUT (Residential -Urban Transition — Ada County Designation) zone and land use to the north since the minimum lot size within an A -R (Agricultural -Residential) zone is comparable in size to the minimum lot; d. The proposed A -R (Agricultural -Residential) zone is compatible with the R -E (Residential -Estates) zone and land uses to the east and west since those areas contain single-family dwellings located within subdivisions that were developed in conformance with the Estate Residential comprehensive plan designation; e. The proposed A -R (Agricultural -Residential) zone is compatible with the R-1 (Residential — Ada County designation) zone and land use to the south since that area is developed with a lot which is 1.9 -acres in size and contains a single-family dwelling; f. The land proposed for rezone is not located within a "Hazard Area" and "Special Area" as described within the Comprehensive Plan; and No non -conforming uses are expected to be created with this rezone. g.
