CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: A. In accordance Eagle City Code Section 8-6-6-3(B), the Council finds that the facts submitted with the application and presented to the Council, with the conditions herein, establish that: 1. The required improvements associated with this development are anticipated to be initiated and completed within one year of the date of approval; 2. The development will have a beneficial effect, because the development will provide a critical addition to community and regional pathway connectivity by extending the regional pathway along the Middleton Mill Canal, providing a pedestrian thoroughfare for existing and future communities within the vicinity of the canal, to existing and planned regional multiuse pathways along North Linder Road and State Highway 44. Additionally, the intensity and scale of the development is in harmony with surrounding development and includes open space amenities and other site improvements that optimize livability for the future residents of the subdivision; 3. The streets and thoroughfares to be constructed are suitable and adequate to carry anticipated traffic, and increased densities will not generate traffic in such amounts as to overload the street network outside the PUD; 4. No commercial development is proposed; 5. Any exception from standard district requirements is warranted by the design and other amenities incorporated in the final development plan, in accordance with the PUD and the adopted policy of the Council because the varied lot sizes, setbacks and uses as specifically approved by the City will allow for a mix of housing types and uses in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan; 6. The area surrounding said development can be planned and zoned in coordination and substantial compatibility with the proposed development since no intensive uses, that might impact the planned residential areas surrounding the development, are proposed; 7. The PUD is in general conformance with the Comprehensive Plan; and 8. The existing and required utility services are adequate for the population densities as noted by the agencies that will serve the development. * In accordance with Idaho Code Section 67-6521, a Notice to Proceed with Construction letter will be provided upon the completion of the relevant conditions of approval provided herein following the 28- day appeal period.
