C. IDAHO CODE PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS
PROPOSAL:
• 67-6512 Special Use Permits, Conditions, and Procedures:
(f) In addition to other processes permitted by this chapter, exceptions or waivers of standards,
other than use, inclusive of the subject matter addressed by section 67-6516, Idaho Code, in a
zoning ordinance may be permitted through issuance of a special use permit or by
administrative process specified by ordinance, subject to such conditions as may be imposed
pursuant to a local ordinance drafted to implement subsection (d) of this section.
DISCUSSION:
• The uses that are requested are defined within the Eagle City Code as Industry (Custom) and Industry
(Limited). The applicant is proposing the following uses within the building under the Industry
(Limited) and Industry (Custom) land use classifications: ornamental steel fabrication, a cabinet shop,
sign shop, upholstery shop, and woodworking shop. Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-2-3,
Industry (Custom) and Industry (Limited) are conditional uses within the MU (Mixed -Use) zoning
district. The site is currently zoned MU (Mixed -Use) and is shown on the City of Eagle
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map as Mixed Use.
• The existing 5,040-square foot building is currently occupied by 44 Iron Design, an ornamental steel
fabricator. The applicant is requesting conditional use permit approval to allow Industry (Custom and
Limited) uses including ornamental steel fabrication, a cabinet shop, sign shop, upholstery shop, and
woodworking shop.
• The applicant is requesting multiple uses on site. Based on the most restrictive parking requirements
(Industry [Limited]), the site should have a minimum of 8 parking spaces.
• The applicant has submitted plans showing an updated building facade which does not appear to
conform to one of the approved architectural styles within the Eagle Architecture and Site Design
Book. The applicant should be required to submit revised building elevations which show a building
facade that conforms to one of the approved architectural styles within the Eagle Architecture and Site
Design Book to be reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board and City Council.
-OR-
A waiver of Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-5(E) may be granted with this application and the proposed
architectural style of the building facade be deemed acceptable, pursuant to review and approval by the
Design Review Board and City Council.

• Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(J)(2)(a), when a commercial or industrial use abuts a
residential use, a ten foot (10') wide by six foot (6') high landscaped buffer is required. 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 applicant is also requesting a reduction of the required 10-foot wide landscape strip between the
parking lot and right-of-way on both the north and south sides of the site. Pursuant to Eagle City Code
Section 8-2A-7(K)(2)(a), a ten -foot (10') wide landscape strip is required between the right-of-way
and the parking lot, planted with a minimum of one shade tree and ten (10) shrubs per thirty-five (35)
linear feet of street frontage, excluding driveway openings. Adjacent to the right-of-way, the applicant
is proposing a reduced, 5-foot (5') landscape strip including a minimum of one (1) shade tree and five
(5) shrubs per thirty-five (35) linear feet of street frontage, excluding driveway openings.
The applicant should provide a revised site plan showing a 10-foot (10') wide landscape strip between
the parking lot and right-of-way on both the north and south sides of the site, planted with a minimum
of one shade tree and ten (10) shrubs per thirty-five (35) linear feet of street frontage, excluding
driveway openings;
-OR-
A waiver of Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(K)(2)(a) may be granted with this application, and the
required landscape strip between the parking lot and right-of-way on both the north and south sides of
the site may be reduced to 5-feet (5'), including a minimum of one (1) shade tree and five (5) shrubs
per thirty-five (35) linear feet of street frontage, excluding driveway openings.
• Curb, gutter, and sidewalk are not currently present along East State Street or East Dunyon Street.
Eagle City Code Section 9-4-1-3 "Curbs and Gutters" and Section 9-4-1-6 "Pedestrian/Bicycle
Pathway and Sidewalk Regulations" requires the installation of curb, gutter, and sidewalk along East
State Street and East Dunyon Street. As part of this conditional use permit, the applicant is requesting
a waiver of this requirement. The City received correspondence from Ada County Highway District,
date stamped by the City on October 19, 2023, indicating that they do not recommend installing curb,
gutter, and/or sidewalk as a condition of this application.
Waivers of Eagle City Code Sections 9-4-1-3 and 9-4-1-6 may be granted and the installation of curb,
gutter, and sidewalk along East State Street and East Dunyon Street may not be required with this
application upon final approval by the City Council.
• The applicant has submitted an application to the Ada County Highway District to enter into a license
agreement for parking and landscaping within 25-feet of the right-of-way located on the south side of
the site (adjacent to State Street). The proposed site plan shows two parking spaces and landscaping
located within the portion of the right-of-way that is associated with the proposed license agreement. If
the applicant is unable to secure the license agreement for this portion of the property, the applicant
should be required to provide a revised site plan showing adequate parking for the most restrictive use
proposed in this application (Industry [Limited]).
The applicant should provide an executed copy of the license agreement for the parking area and

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
1. The Council reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of the proposed conditional use
(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 use:
A. The Industry (Custom) use, specifically 44 Iron Design (ornamental steel fabrication) will, in fact,
constitute a conditional use as established in Eagle City Code Section 8-2-3 since Industry
(Custom) 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 and Eagle City Code Sections 8-2A-7(J)(2)(a) and
8-2A-7(K)(2)(a) for reductions of the required landscaping.
B. The Industry (Custom) use, specifically 44 Iron Design (ornamental steel fabrication), will be
harmonious with and in accordance with the general objectives or with any specific objective of
the Comprehensive Plan and/or Title 8 of the Eagle City Code. The subject property is designated
as Mixed Use within the Comprehensive Plan and is zoned Mixed Use, where Industry (Custom)
is listed as a conditional use. The Comprehensive Plan identifies Mixed Use areas as vibrant
districts where a variety of residential, commercial, and limited office uses can coexist, provided
that those uses are context -sensitive and harmonious with the surrounding community. The
proposed use aligns with the general objectives of the Comprehensive Plan for Mixed Use areas
by contributing positively to the surrounding neighborhood through an updated building facade
that enhances the visual character of the site, the installation of sidewalk infrastructure that
strengthens pedestrian connectivity, and the inclusion of low -intensity industrial activity that
integrates economic and functional variety compatible with nearby uses.
C. The Industry (Custom) use, specifically 44 Iron Design (ornamental steel fabrication), 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. 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
eligible for reduced setbacks and flexible site and landscape design requirements to encourage
development which enhances the livability, desirability, and character of the area. These
objectives are supported by building facade updates that include new exterior finishes, paint
treatments, and architectural detailing to modernize and unify the building's appearance.
Additionally, a new sidewalk will be installed along the property's frontage, and updated
landscaping will be incorporated to improve curb appeal and provide visual screening from
surrounding properties. 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.

K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications \CU\2023\CU-I0-23 44 Iron Design CUP\03-Working Files\03-City Council\04-CC Findings\44 Iron Design CUP -Findings CC.doc
D. The Industry (Custom) use, specifically 44 Iron Design (ornamental steel fabrication), will not be
hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighborhood uses. The proposed tenant (44 Iron
Design) has provided the Council with a copy of their corporate safety plan, which outlines
procedures for handling any hazardous materials on site and details the required safety protocols
for operation. Additionally, the conditions of approval prohibit outdoor storage and require that
the parking lot and exterior areas be maintained in good condition — free of holes, dust, weeds,
and debris.
The remaining proposed uses (including a cabinet shop, sign shop, upholstery shop, and
woodworking shop) were not approved because adequate information was not provided regarding
the prospective tenants or the specific activities each use would involve. Given the inherently
industrial nature of these uses and the lack of detail regarding materials, equipment, and
operational practices, the potential for hazardous materials, noise, or other adverse impacts on the
surrounding neighborhood could not be adequately evaluated.
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. The Industry (Custom) use, specifically 44 Iron Design (ornamental steel fabrication), 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. This determination is supported by the applicant's
narrative dated October 10, 2023, the submitted corporate safety plan, and testimony provided by
the applicant's representative, all of which confirm that such adverse impacts are not anticipated.
Additionally, the review letter from the Ada County Highway District (ACHD) did not indicate
any anticipated concerns regarding the generation of excessive traffic associated with this project.
Furthermore, the Council required the installation of curb, gutter, and sidewalk along the frontage
of the subject property to enhance pedestrian access and continue the sidewalk network
established by the adjacent development to the east.
Other proposed uses (cabinet shop, sign shop, upholstery shop, and woodworking shop) were not
approved, as the Council was unable to make similar findings due to insufficient information
provided by the applicant's representative about the nature of these proposed uses and their
operation. Without clarity regarding potential tenants, materials used, or operational
characteristics, the Council could not adequately assess whether these uses would operate without
generating hazardous materials, excessive noise, or other detrimental impacts associated with
industrial activities;
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 Council 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(J)(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
Council 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 screening to the adjacent
property.
4. The Council 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 Council does not approve a waiver of Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(M), which requires the
installation of sidewalks along East State Street and East Dunyon Street. The property directly east of
the subject site was required to install sidewalks and is anticipated to begin installation within the
year. Given this property's direct adjacency to the subject property, continuing pedestrian
connectivity through this frontage is both appropriate and desired. Requiring sidewalk installation at
this time supports the City's broader goals for improved pedestrian access and ensures a consistent
and walkable streetscape as development progresses.
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.
Regulatory Takings Analysis Notice: Applicant has a right to request a regulatory takings analysis
pursuant to Idaho Code Section 67-8003.
