TanAnkCidct k -tenon 3tt( U F)1e per• /_ti,)i4 i �J 1 /F NC ,00U /\4 ()y-1 o YE' -ro V Monday, May 1, 2017 To The Planning and Zoning Commission: While many of the points! present against the re -zone have already been expressed, you wilt note that I have referenced specific resolutions set forth in the City's Comprehensive Plan. As I am certain you are aware, Planning and Zoning is charged with upholding the City's comprehensive plan, which was adopted just 2 years ago. As stated in Chapter 13 Implementation, resolution 13.1 states, "The policies of the Comprehensive Plan establish a framework for the zoning and subdivision ordinances and for the zoning map. Idaho State law requires that all zoning districts be in accordance with the adopted Comprehensive Plan.... The Planning and Zoning Commission is responsible for reviewing all new development proposals to insure compatibility with the zoning and development ordinances and the Comprehensive Plan ..." which is why we are here today. As a longtime resident of Eagle (20+years) and home owner near the proposed Heron Edge complex, I have come here to express my concerns of changing the zoning of this property from C-2 commercial to MU -DA, mixed use with a development agreement. While I agree that some uses under the C-2 designation may be undesirable and incompatible with the residential surroundings, I feel that re- zoning to Mixed Use with a Development Agreement is equally incompatible; not only with the single- family residential surroundings, but also with the Comprehensive Plan you are responsible with upholding. Specifically, by the Comprehensive Plan: • Residents of Eagle and its Area Of Impact (AOI) have a strong desire to maintain the rural "feel" of the community. (Resolution 15-01-6.2) There are SEVERAL resolutions within the Comprehensive Plan that speak to this point. Land use goals are to "Preserve the rural transitional identity of the community." (Resolution 15-01-6.4A) The Huron Edge complex, with its 9 modern Prairie School style architecture buildings — 3'r4 of which are proposed to be 3 story and pitch height exceeding 36', is anything but RURAL in feel. • With a community that has been so concerned with the height of signage in the city, approving a complex of this height, so close to a Gateway of the city seems a contradiction. The Comprehensive Plan seems to place great emphasis on maintaining the character of these entrances as they "provide the first, and often the most lasting, impressions of the entire community." (Resolution 15-01-12.1) • Also at odds with the proposed development are the land use objectives as stated in the comprehensive plan. Land uses are to "encourage development with decreasing density radiating out from Downtown Eagle" (Resolution 15-01-6.5 B) to "Locate higher -density residential development closest to Downtown Eagle...(Resolution 15-01-6.6G) and to encourage mixed use in the area along both sides of Eagle Road between Ranch Drive and Floating Feather Road..." (Resolution 15-01-6.6H) neither of which fit this property location. This development as proposed will contain 131 units on 8+ acres (the apartment section of the property) with a density of 16 units per acre a mile out from the city center. • Before you approve this re -zone request, I also ask that "...take into consideration the impact of the project on street levels of service." Consider the effect of placing this proposed high-density ,°''1 apartment complex so near the intersection of Edgewood Lane and State Street. Current area residents already experience difficulty entering and exiting Edgewood Lane. Approving the re- zone to MU -DA for the current project will only exacerbate the already over -burdened intersection at Edgewood Lane and State Street. (Resolution 15-01-8.6.5 G) In conversation with Ada County Highway District, there is currently no plan to alter the traffic pattern at this intersection. The re -zone to MU -DA and the development plans proposed for the property go against the comprehensive plan and fail to compliment the surrounding development. If there is to be a re -zone for this parcel at Edgewood Lane and State Street, I propose the property be re -zoned R-4 instead of the requested MU -DA. A zoning of R-4 not only reduces the occupancy density, and traffic in the area from the proposal, but it also is more in keeping with the Comprehensive Plan you are responsible for upholding. Respectfully, Denise Kimpson 257 S Silverwood Way Eagle
