THE CITY COUNCIL RECEIVED AND REVIEWED THE FOLLOWING STAFF ANALYSIS PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT AND ADOPTS THE STAFF REPORT AS PART OF THE CITY COUNCIL'S FINDINGS OF FACT: A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL: The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map (adopted November 15, 2017), designates this site as the following: Downtown Suitable primarily for development that accommodates and encourages further expansion and renewal in the downtown core.A variety of business,public,quasi-public,cultural, ancillary 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. Residential only development should be discouraged. Land within 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. Scenic Corridor An overlay designation that is intended to provide significant setbacks from major corridors and natural features through the city. These areas may require berming, enhanced landscaping, detached meandering pathways and appropriate signage controls. This designation includes the Willow Creek Scenic Corridor that is to provide increased setbacks and buffering of development including natural vegetation and restoration,regional trails and connectivity. Public/Semi-public Suitable primarily for the development of such uses as golf courses, parks, recreation facilities, greenways, schools, cemeteries, and public service facilities such as government offices. Support activities may also be permitted. All development within this land use is encouraged to be designed to accommodate the different needs, interests, and age levels of residents in matters concerning both recreation and civil activities. The public/semi-public land use designation is not a residential land use designation. When a project or development is designed that contains or is adjacent to land holding a public/semi-public land use, this land will not be included when calculating the allowable residential density. Projects that hold a residential designation that want to provide or dedicate amenities similar to those allowed in the public/semi-public designation may transfer unused density from these areas to other areas within the development, as approved by the City Council through the Planned Unit Development process as defined in the comprehensive plan.
