Densities range from 2 units per acre to 4 units per acre. 6.8 Land Use Sub Area: The Comprehensive Plan designates this site to be located within the River Plain Planning Area: The River Plain Planning Area is designated for residential uses with highly integrated open space. This area should contain river access, trails, open space, and parks in conjunction with transitional residential densities. The overall density of the area is 1-2 units per acre. Through clustering and transitioning, residential densities may be higher (up to 3 units per acre) at the Phyllis Canal transitioning into clustered and large lot residential uses (1 unit per acre) in the areas adjacent to the Boise River. A similar transition should occur on the north side of the Boise River with clustered residential uses (smaller lots with a density of 1 unit per acre) in the areas adjacent to the Boise River and densities of up to 2 units per acre located adjacent to State Highway 44 and Moon Valley Road. The focus of development north of the Boise River should be to transition and ensure compatibility with existing large lot residential uses. ZONING CODE PROVISISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL: • Eagle City Code Section 8-2-4: SCHEDULE OF BUILDING HEIGHT AND LOT AREA REGULATIONS G. All front load garages shall be set back a minimum of 25 feet from the back of sidewalk. • Eagle City Code Section 8-10-1: DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS 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: 3.11 The required setbacks shall be as follows for Lots 1-6 (Lot 7 shall adhere to Eagle City Code): Front 30-feet (living) 55-feet (garage) Rear 30-feet Side 10-feet Additional Setback for Multi -Story Structures 5-feet per story Street Side 20-feet Maximum Coverage 40% Page 2 of 5 KAPlanning DeptTagle Applications\RZ&A\2021\Aventier Subdivision Lot 6 - RZDA-2021-11-MODI\03-Working Files\03-City Council\02-CC Packet\Aventier DA mod CC findings.docx DISCUSSION: The applicant is req#esting a development agreement modification to amend the requirement for a 55 foot front -load garage setback for Lot 6, Block 1, of Aventier Subdivision. When the subdivision was initially approved, the 55-foot front -load garage setback was required as a precautionary measure due to the varying location of the proposed meandering sidewalk within individual residential lots. At the time of approval, the sidewalk was intended to meander anywhere between 5-feet to 30-feet beyond the property lines. Eagle City Code requires all front -load garages to be set back a minimum of 25-feet from the back of sidewalk, so the most conservative distance was taken into account when determining the required front -load garage setback. In order to maintain 25-feet from the back of sidewalk within any lot in the subdivision, the 55-foot front -load garage setback (measured from the property line) was required and conditioned within the development agreement for Lots 1-6, Block 1. The 55-foot front -load garage setback significantly restricts the buildable area for Lot 6, Block 1, which is also encumbered by an 80-foot no -build easement which runs along the southern property boundary. The applicant is requesting that the setbacks for Lot 6, Block 1, distinguish a 30-foot setback for the front living area and for a side -load garage, and a front -load garage setback requiring a 25-foot minimum distance from the face of the garage to the nearest point of the constructed sidewalk. • Based on the location of the driveway approach in Lot 6, Block 1, and the positioning of the sidewalk within the driveway area, the farthest distance from the property line to the back of sidewalk is 12-feet. With the addition of the required 25-foot minimum distance from the back of sidewalk to the face of the garage, the applicant is requesting that the front -load garage setback for Lot 6, Block 1, be 37-feet measured from the property line. PUBLIC HEARING OF THE COUNCIL: A public hearing on the application was held before the City Council on April 14, 2026, at which time testimony was taken and the public hearing was closed. The City Council made their decision at that time. A. Oral testimony in favor of the application was presented to the City Council by no one (not including the applicant/representative). B. Oral testimony in opposition to the application was presented to the City Council by no one. C. No rebuttal was presented by the applicant. COUNCIL DECISION: The Council voted 4 to 0 to approve RZ-2021-11 -MOD 1 for a rezone with development agreement modification for Aventier (FKA Eventier) Subdivision, to amend item #3.11 of the development agreement as follows: 3.11 The required setbacks shall be as follows for Lots 1-5, Block 1 (Lot 7, Block 1 shall adhere to Eagle City Code): Front 30-feet (living) Rear Side Additional Setback for Multi -Story Structures Street Side Maximum Coverage 55-feet (garage) 30-feet 10-feet 5-feet per story 20-feet 40% Page 3 of 5 KAPlanning Dept\Eagle Applications\RZ&A\2021\Aventier Subdivision Lot 6 - PZDA-2021-11-MOD I\03-Working Files\03-City Council\02-CC Packet\Aventier DA mod CC findings.docx The required setbacks shall be as follows for Lot 6, Block 1: Front 30-feet (front living/side-load garage) 37-feet (front -load garage) Rear 30-feet Side 10-feet Additional Setback for Multi -Story Structures 5-feet per story Street Side 20-feet Maximum Coverage 40% CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: The City Council reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed rezone with development agreement modification (RZ-202 1 -11 -MOD 1) with regard to Eagle City Code Section 8-7-5 "Action by the Commission and Council", and based upon the information provided concludes that the proposed rezone with development agreement modification is in accordance with the City of Eagle Comprehensive Plan and established goals and objectives because: a. The zoning designation of R-2-DA (Residential with a development agreement) is consistent with the Neighborhood Residential designation as shown on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map, and the proposed modification does not alter the land use, so the property remains in conformance with the R-2 (Residential) zone; b. The applicant has extended the public facilities needed for this site pursuant to the conditions of approval of the preliminary plat and final plat; c. The R-2-DA (Residential with a development agreement) zone has previously been determined to be compatible with the zoning and land uses to the south, north, west and east,. and the proposed modification does not consist of any changes to the current land use; d. The land proposed for modification to the development agreement is not located within a "Hazard Area" and "Special Area" as described within the Comprehensive Plan; and e. No nonconforming uses will be created with this modification to the rezone with development agreement.
