• Eagle City Code Section 8-4-3 requires all parking and loading spaces, together with
driveways, aisles and other circulation areas to be improved with material such as asphalt or
concrete, to provide a durable and dust free surface. Gravel or dirt surfaces are not permitted.
East Dunyon Street has been improved with 26 -feet of pavement within the right-of-way with
no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. The applicant is not proposing to use this area as
an entry point into the site for parking. As art of this conditional use permit, the applicant is
requesting a waiver of the requirement to pave this area. If the waiver is approved, staff

other city -approved barrier method along the Dunyon Street frontage. The image below is
looking south at the gravel area on site from East Dunyon Street.
• No signs are proposed with this application and no signs have been approved.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT:
Based upon the information provided to staff to date, staff recommends approval with the site specific
conditions of approval and standard condition of approval provided with the staff report.
PUBLIC HEARING OF THE COMMISSION:
A. A public hearing on the application was held before the Planning and Zoning Commission on February
19, 2019, at which time testimony was taken and the public hearing was closed. The Commission made
their recommendation at that time.
B. Oral testimony in opposition to the application was presented to the Planning rnd Zoning Commission
by no one.
C. Oral testimony in favor of the application was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission by
no one (not including the applicant/representative).
COMMISSION DELIBERATION: (Granicus Time 00:32:40)
Upon closing the public hearing, the Commission discussed during deliberation that:
• The appearance of the proposed building addition and update to the existing building will fit in with
Eagle and the neighborhood at which it is located.
• This business is good for Eagle and Eagle tries to be business friendly. The proposed waivers are
appropriate as the changes will be consistent with other developments in the area.

• Nothing would be gained by removing the existing parking area to install a landscape strip along East
State Street. The ACHD right-of-way is a grassy area from the property line to the edge of street.
• The Ada County Highway District Commission will determine whether curb, gutter, and sidewalk is
required along the Dunyon Street and State Street frontages.
• Existing fencing proposed to remain along the east and west property lines should be reviewed in two
(2) to three (3) years, or at a later date, if the chain link fencing is approved to remain. The Eagle City
Code prohibits chain link fencing, but the Commission understands the financial obligation of the
owner.
• The Commission is concerned that the parking lot area is large enough for customers as the business
grows. The property owner may need to consider additional on-site parking.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
1. The Council reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of the proposed conditional use (CU-08-18)
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. Will, in fact, constitute a conditional use as established in Eagle City Code Section 8-2-3 for the
zoning district involved since an indoor commercial entertainment facility may be permitted within
the MU (Mixed Use) zoning district with the approval of a conditional use permit;
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), (as shown within
the findings provided within this document), since there are no inconsistencies with the
Comprehensive Plan and since the proposed indoor commercial entertainment facility use will be
located within a MU (Mixed Use) and the proposed building with addition will be architecturally
Page 18 of 20
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications \CU\2018\CU-08-18 Golf Your Way ccfdocx
compatible with the surrounding properties and structures within the area, and since the
development will be required to meet conditions of a design review application;
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 since the development will not only be required to
meet the City's design review requirements, but will also be required to the meet the requirements
noted herein;
D. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighborhood uses, since the site is
bordered to the west and east by mixed use, bordered to the south and north by a roadway;
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;
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 because the entire project
will be privately funded by the applicant and all public facilities are available for the project;
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, since the transportation system has been
found to be adequate by Ada County Highway District and since the development is not expected
to generate any noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
H. Will have vehicular approaches to the property from East State Street, which is designed as not to
create an interference with traffic on surrounding public thoroughfares as approved by Ada County
Highway District; and
I. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major
importance, since none are apparent at this site.
2. In accordance with Idaho Code 67-6512 (f), the Council concludes that a waiver for the following is
appropriate and will not change the essential character of the area:
• ECC Section 8-4-3 Design and Maintenance, (A) Paving — gravel may remain along the north
portion of the site along the East Dunyon Street frontage.
• ECC Section 8-4-3 Design and Maintenance, (B) Drainage — site drainage may continue to drain
into the public right-of-way; also approved by the Ada County Highway District Commission.
• ECC Section 8-2A-7 (K)(2)&(3) Parking Lot Landscape Strip and Parking Lot Perimeter
Landscaping, and ECC Section 8-2A-6 (L)(1)(a) Landscape Commercial Strips - reduction of
landscape strip between the property line and the parking lot at the south side of the property along
East State Street and a landscape strip between the north side of the proposed building addition and
the right-of-way along the East Dunyon Street frontage. Additionally, and pursuant to Eagle City
Code Section 8 -2A -6(F) Dunyon/State Development Area, perimeter parking lot landscape and the
minimum landscaping required between the building and the property line has been reduced and
the Council concludes that the building's design style and architecture serves as an appropriate
buffer to the adjacent property.
• ECC Section 8-2A-6 (F) Dunyon/State Development Area, (2) Setbacks and Site Design — the site
setbacks are approved as proposed.
• ECC Section 8-2A-6 (F) Dunyon/State Development Area and ECC 8 -2A -6(M)(1) Parkway Strips,

Separated Sidewalks, And Street Trees - the installation of curb, gutter, sidewalk and street trees
along both East State Street and East Dunyon Street frontages is not required; also approved by the
Ada County Highway District Commission.
3. Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-7-3-5 (F), a conditional use permit shall not be considered as
establishing a binding precedent to grant other conditional use permits.
4. Failure to comply with all provisions and any condition of approval of this conditional use permit use
may result in a compliance hearing in front of the City Council at which time the Council may add
conditions to the permit or modify the existing permit.
