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:
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:
Neighborhood Residential
Suitable for single-family residential. Densities range from 2 units per acre to 4 units per acre.
Residential Transition Overlay
Residential development that provides for a transition between land use categories and uses. Commonly
requires a transition/change in density, lot sizing, and building scaling with a specific parcel or project.
Base densities may be reduced or units may be clustered to increase open space within a portion of a
site when property is in this overlay. Neighborhood design will be paramount in this overlay to ensure
appropriate transition between uses. See specific planning areas for further description.

G. Modification Of Development Agreement: A development agreement may be modified by the city
council only after complying with the notice and public hearing provisions of section 67-6509 of
the Idaho Code.
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING
THIS PROPOSAL:
3.4 Except for the limitations and allowances expressly set forth above and the other terms of this
Agreement, the Property can be developed and used consistent with the Agricultural - Residential
District land uses allowed by the Eagle City Code Section 8-2-3 "Official Schedule of District
Regulations", existing at the time a design review application or conditional use permit application
(whichever the case may be) is made for individual building use.
All uses shown as "P" permitted under the A-R zoning designation within Eagle City Code Section
8-2-3 "Official Schedule of District Regulations," shall be considered permitted uses and all uses
shown as "C" conditional uses under the A-R zoning designation shall require a conditional use
permit.
The following use which is shown as "C" conditional use under the A-R zoning designation within
Eagle City Code Section 8-2-3 "Official Schedule of District Regulations," shall be a permitted use
on the Property. A separate application shall be submitted for a conditional use permit for a height
exception.
• Church
• Daycare center (preschool)
3.5 The existing church facility may continue to be served by the potable well located on site until the
time of construction of a new church facility on the northern portion of the property. At this time
the Owner shall provide central water and sewer to the existing and newly constructed church
facilities. After construction of the new church facility on the northern portion of the property and
a certificate of occupancy is issued, the Owner shall be required to remove the modular building
within sixty (60) days.
DISCUSSION:
• The modular building that currently exists on the property is noted in item #3.5 in the amended and
restated development agreement (RZ-12-08 MOD3) as being a temporary structure required to be
removed sixty (60) days after receiving a certificate of occupancy for the primary church building on
the property. The applicant is requesting to retain the modular building as a permanent structure, as it
serves as a space for the church's preschool and young family ministry.

identified in Eagle City Code Section 8-2-3. The applicant is requesting to add "portable classroom" to
the list of conditional uses which shall be permitted uses on the property, as outlined in item #3.4 of the
amended and restated development agreement, which would permit the church to utilize the modular
building hosting the church's preschool as a permanent structure on the property.
