C. DISCUSSION:
The applicant is proposing to construct a single-family residential dwelling within Lot 70,
Block 24, of Avimor Subdivision No. 6 that would exceed the 35-foot (35') maximum
height allowable for a structure within the Reserve Residential (RR) district of Avimor's
Village One. The proposed residence includes a daylight basement which necessitates
additional excavation of the site, the additional grading would lower the adjacent grade from
which the building height is measured from. As a result, the total height of the building is
approximately 44'-6" in height. Eagle City Code Section 11B-1-5 defines building height as,
"the height of a building as measured from the finished floor elevation closest to the
corresponding finished grade to the top of the roof. The height of the building may follow
the same slope as the contour of the Lot (grade adaptive architecture). Top of roof means
ridgeline or the highest point of any architectural element concealing roof top equipment."
As proposed, the height of the proposed dwelling measures 44'-6" in height from the finish
floor elevation of the proposed basement to the peak of the roof. The applicant is seeking
approval of a conditional use permit for a waiver of the 35-foot (35') maximum building
height for a single-family residence in the RR district. If approved, the applicant should be
permitted to construct a single-family residential dwelling up to 44'-6" in height, as
measured from the finish floor elevation closest to the corresponding finished grade to the
top of roof.

, . t RON T HIGNI
If the applicant is approved to construct a residential dwelling that includes a daylight
basement, as proposed, or alters the existing graded condition of the site , approved grading
and drainage of the site, the applicant should be required to submit grading and drainage plans
for review and approval prior to the commencement of any site work within the subject
property. The approval of the mass grading plans associated with Avimor Subdivision No. 6
was issued by Ada County prior to the annexation of the Avimor development into the City of
Eagle. If additional grading and drainage alterations are proposed for the site, that the
applicant should first submit grading and drainage plans to the Ada County engineer for
review and approval. If Ada County will not accept the submittal of a grading and drainage
plan, the applicant should submit the plans, along with the necessary reports and
documentation, for review by the City Engineer pursuant to the Avimor Hillside and Grading
Standards.

PUBLIC HEARING OF THE COMMISSION:
A. A public hearing on the application was held before the Planning and Zoning Commission on April
20, 2026, at which time testimony was taken and the public hearing was closed. The Commission
made their recommendation at that time.
B. Oral testimony in favor of the application was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission by
no one (not including the applicant/representative).
C. Oral testimony in opposition to the application was presented before the Planning and Zoning
Commission by three (3) individual(s) who were opposed to the proposed conditional use permit for
the following reasons:
• The height of the proposed single-family dwelling exceeds the maximum height permissible in
city code and is taller than the homes in the general vicinity.
• In order to achieve the desired height of the proposed structure, additional excavation of the site
would be required to allow for the daylight basement. This excavation may de -stabilize slopes or
alter the approved drainage patterns on the site that were established through prior approvals.
• The excavation required to allow for the proposed daylight basement would eliminate the natural
buffer that visually separates the residence to the south (Lot 71, Block 24, Avimor Subdivision
No. 6).
D. The applicant's representative provided the following rebuttal in response to the testimony provided:
• Public records show that the city of Eagle has issued building permits that permitted fifty (50)
daylight basement throughout the city.
• The grading and drainage of the subject property was approved through a mass grading permit
process through Ada County Development Services. The applicant understands that additional
engineering review (inclusive of grading and drainage) will be necessary to evaluate any
proposed changes to the padded lot at the time of the submittal of a building permit to the city.
• The natural barrier that visually separated the subject property from the lot to the south was
eliminated when the developer originally graded the property.
COMMISSION DELIBERATION:
Upon closing the public hearing, the Commission made a motion based upon the information provided by
staff and the testimony received. A summary of the deliberation can be found at the following link

COMMISSION DECISION:

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
1. The Commission reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of the proposed conditional use
(CUP-2026-07) in terms of Eagle City Code Section 1113-7-3-2, "General Standards For Conditional
Uses" and has concluded that the proposed conditional uses:
C. Will not be designed to be harmonious in appearance with the existing and intended character of
the general vicinity because the proposed residential dwelling height of 44'-6" would alter the
essential character of the area because in order to construct the dwelling, additional excavation of
the subject property would be necessary. The excavation required for the daylight basement
results in a building height that exceeds the established development standards and makes the
structure approximately 14'-6" taller than adjacent residential dwellings in the area.
