COMMISSION DELIBERATION: (Granicus time 9:30)
Upon closing the public hearing, the Commission discussed during deliberation that:
• The applicant is not proposing to develop the property, therefore, there will be no impact to the adjacent
neighbors.
• The requested zoning of A -R (Agricultural -Residential) is in conformance with the comprehensive
plan.
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.
