COMMISSION DECISION:
The Commission voted 3 to 0 (Wright & Villegas absent) to recommend approval of A-03-16 & RZ-04-16
for an annexation and rezone from RUT to R -E for M. Lynn McKee.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
1. The Commission reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed rezone upon
annexation (A-03-16 & RZ-04-16) 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 Residential
One 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 all uses allowed on this property under the
proposed zone;
c. The proposed R -E (Residential -Estates) zoning district is compatible with the RUT (Rural -Urban
Transition — Ada County Designation) zone and land use to the north since that area contains a
parcel of similar size and may be developed in a similar manner at a future date;
d. The proposed R -E (Residential -Estates) zoning district is compatible with the R -E (Residential -
Estates) zone and land use to the south since that area is developed into a residential subdivision
(Academy Place Subdivision) with lots of similar size;
e. The proposed (Residential -Estates) zone is compatible with the R -E (Residential -Estates) zoning
district and land uses to the east and west since those areas contain parcels that are in conformance
with the minimum lot size associated with the R -E (Residential -Estates) zoning designation;
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.
