Within the DSDA (Dunyon/State Development Area), pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-6(F)(d)(1-2), at the discretion of the Design Review Board and City Council, (1) interior and perimeter parking lot landscape area dimensions may be reduced, and (2) the minimum required landscaping between the building and property line may be reduced when the Design Review Board finds that the building's design style and architecture serves as an appropriate buffer to the adjacent property. The applicant is requesting a reduction of the required landscape strip between the existing building and the western property line, which abuts a residential property. The existing building precludes the applicant from installing a ten -foot (10') wide by six-foot (6') high landscaped buffer because there is only five -feet (5') between the existing building and western property line. The applicant is proposing to install five -feet (5') of landscaping along the western perimeter of the site between the building and the property line. A waiver of Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(J)(2)(a) may be granted with this application, and the required landscape buffer may be reduced to 5-feet (5') wide along the western perimeter of the property (between the existing building and the western property line).

The Commission reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of the proposed conditional uses (CU-10-23) in terms of Eagle City Code Section 8-7-3-2, "General Standards For Conditional Uses" and has concluded that the proposed conditional uses: A. Will, in fact, constitute conditional uses as established in Eagle City Code Section 8-2-3 since Industry (Custom and Limited), cabinet shop, sign shop, upholstery shop, and woodworking shop may be permitted within the MU (Mixed Use) zoning district with the approval of a conditional use permit; Eagle City Code Section 8-7-3-1 allows for exceptions or waivers of standards within Title 8 or Title 9, other than use, through the issuance of a conditional use permit. The applicant has requested waivers of Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-5(E) since the architectural style of the existing building does not conform to one of the nine (9) required architectural styles of the Eagle Architecture and Site Design (EASD) Book, Eagle City Code Sections 8-2A-7(J)(2)(a) and 8-2A- 7(K)(2)(a) for reductions of the required landscaping, and Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(M) to waive the requirement for installation of a sidewalk along State Street and Dunyon Street. B. Will be harmonious with and in accordance with the general objectives or with any specific objective of the Comprehensive Plan and/or this title (Eagle City Code Title 8), since the proposed land uses are consistent with the Mixed Use Designation as defined within the Comprehensive Plan, and since Industry (Custom and Limited), cabinet shop, sign shop, upholstery shop, and woodworking shop are permitted with the approval of a conditional use permit within the MU (Mixed Use) zoning district; C. Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and that such use will not change the essential character of the same area because the proposed uses and site design were reviewed and determined by the Commission to be compatible with the general design of the surrounding area. The site is located within the Dunyon State Development Area (DSDA) — Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-6(F) states that properties within the DSDA are subject to reduced setbacks and flexible site and landscape design requirements to encourage development which enhances the livability, desirability, and character of the area. Furthermore, the building and site design will be further evaluated by the Design Review Board and City Council since the applicant is required to submit a design review application for review and approval prior to issuance of a zoning certificate. Page 17 of 19 KAPlanning Dept\Eagle Applications\CU\2023\CU-10-23 44 Iron Design CUP\03-Working Files\02-Planning and Zoning\04-P&Z Findings\44 Iron Design CUP -Findings PZ.doc D. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighborhood uses since the proposed uses (Industry [Custom and Limited], cabinet shop, ornamental steel fabrication, sign shop, upholstery shop, and woodworking shop) do not involve any hazardous materials, as confirmed by the testimony of the applicant's representative. Additionally, the conditions of the application prohibit any outdoor storage and require that the applicant maintain the parking lot and outdoor areas in good condition, free of holes, dust, weeds, and other debris; E. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer and schools; or that the persons or agencies responsible for the establishment of the proposed use shall be able to provide adequately any such services, as noted in the documentation provided from said agencies and as required as a part of the conditions of approval herein; F. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community, since the applicant will bear all costs of development; G. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors, as evidenced by the Ada County Highway District (ACHD) review letter, included in the staff report and incorporated herein by reference, whereby no sidewalks were required and no other traffic concerns were identified. Additionally, the development is not expected to generate excessive noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors, as described within the applicant's narrative dated October 10, 2023 and supported by the testimony provided by the applicant's representative; H. Will have vehicular approaches to the property which are designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public thoroughfares since the ACHD review letter, included within the staff report and incorporated herein by reference, indicates that ACHD is not requiring any modifications to the existing vehicular approaches or access to the site as part of this application; and I. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance, since there are no scenic or historic features of major importance on the site. 2. The existing building on site does not conform to any of the nine (9) required architectural styles within the Eagle Architecture and Site Design (EASD) Book, as required by Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-5(E). Since there are provisions within Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-6 which relax the site and landscape design requirements for properties located within the DSDA, and the proposed building facade and overall site design are consistent with the general design of the surrounding Dunyon State Development Area, the Commission concludes that a waiver of Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-5(E) is appropriate. 3. The applicant has requested a waiver of Eagle City Code Section ' 8-2A-7(.1)(2)(a) to reduce the requirement of a 10-foot wide landscape buffer to a 5-foot wide landscape buffer along the western boundary of the property. Since the existing building is located only 5-feet from the western property line and it is not possible for the applicant to install the full 10-foot wide landscape buffer, and considering that Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-6(F) allows for the reduction of landscaping requirements within the DSDA where the building's design serves as an appropriate buffer, the Commission concludes that this waiver is appropriate and it is not practical to enforce this requirement since the building itself serves as an adequate buffer between the site and the adjacent residential property. In areas along the western perimeter where the building is not present, the applicant will install a 5-foot wide landscape buffer which will provide appropriate separation to the adjacent property. Page 18 of 19 KAPlanning Dept\Eagle Applications\CU\2023\CU-10-23 44 Iron Design CUP\03-Working Files\02-Planning and Zoning\04-P&Z Findings\44 Iron Design CUP -Findings PZ.doc 4. The Commission concludes that a waiver of Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(K)(2)(a) (the requirement to install a 10-foot wide landscape buffer where a parking lot is adjacent to a public right-of-way) is appropriate since the proposed 5-foot wide landscape strips will provide an adequate visual buffer to meet the intent of the Code. Additionally, this landscaping approach aligns with similar landscaping designs for other properties within the DSDA, where flexibility in landscaping design is allowed to encourage unique site design and improve the desirability and character of the area. 5. The Commission concludes that a waiver of Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(M) (the requirement to install a sidewalk along East State Street and East Dunyon Street) is appropriate since this approach is consistent with the other properties in the Dunyon/State Development Area (DSDA), where sidewalk improvements have not been required. Additionally, the City anticipates that ACHD may install sidewalks along Dunyon Street and State Street as part of a future roadway improvement project. 6. Failure to comply with all provisions and any condition of approval of this conditional use permit may result in a compliance hearing in front of the City Council at which time the Council may add conditions to the permit, modify existing permit conditions, or revoke all or part of the permit. 7. Pursuant to Eagle City Code 8-7-3-5(F), a conditional use permit shall not be considered as establishing a binding precedent to grant other conditional use permits.
