THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECEIVED AND REVIEWED THE
FOLLOWING STAFF ANALYSIS PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT AND ADOPTS
THE STAFF REPORT AS PART OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION'S
FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING
THIS PROPOSAL:
Chapter 6 — Land Use
6.3 Land Use Designation
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map in effect at the time of application submittal designates
this site as Village/Community Center:
Village and Community Centers are intended to serve as mixed use centers for goods, services and
employment for areas that are removed from downtown Eagle. Uses and residential densities vary
based on location.
6.6 Village Planning Area
The Village Planning Area is designated for the establishment of an employment center at Beacon
Light Road that is oriented to the State Highway 16 corridor and the provision of goods and services
in the northwest portion of the City so residents are not required to travel significant distances for
basic amenities. The land uses are intended to be flexible to encourage corporate office, light
manufacturing, and similar uses into the area and to create a unique destination within the City.
The non-residential area along Beacon Light Road will transition into similar sized large lot
residential uses as development approaches Homer Road and the Foothills. Neighborhood
Residential uses are designated south of Beacon Light to Floating Feather Road. This area is not
intended to be master planned but does require great care in planning to ensure that uses are
compatible and that the Village Center serves as the activity center of the area and is not taken over
by residential uses.
6.6.1 Village Planning Area Uses/Design
A. The land use and development policies specific to the Village Planning Area include
residential, commercial, retail, civic, research and development park, corporate and/or
educational campus, hospitality, and office uses. Non-residential uses will be focused in the
Village Center.
1. Village Center: The Village Center is generally located along the north and south sides of
Beacon Light Road, extending from State Highway 16 East to Hartley Lane, as shown on
the Future Land Use Map. All Non-residential uses will be focused in the Village Center.
This area is comprised of three key components:
a. A research/development park, educational campus, and/or corporate park area
designed to provide sufficient space for corporate headquarters in a park -like setting
with ancillary commercial uses located in the Village Center; and
b. The village center should include supporting office, retail commercial, hospitality, and
civic uses that will benefit and support the non-residential uses, as well as the larger
residential area;
Office and restaurant uses with drive thrus are considered a supporting use to the
corporate and campus uses. Office and restaurant uses that are appropriately designed
and internally oriented to the larger development area may be considered on a case by
case basis.

d. Non-residential development in the northeast portion of the Village Center should be
designed and oriented to capitalize on the needs of users of the future 22-acre Terra
View Park.
B. ZONING CODE PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS
PROPOSAL:
0 Eagle City Code 8-1-2: RULES AND DEFINITIONS:

approved which changed the future land use designation for this site from Village/Community
Center to Large Lot with a residential transition overlay. However, the application should be
evaluated based on the comprehensive plan future land use designation in effect at the time of
submittal.

• The applicant is requesting that the following uses marked "C" for conditional use under the MU
zoning designation in the "Official Schedule of District Regulations" in Eagle City Code Section
8-2-3 be permitted on the Property and should be approved with this development agreement in
lieu of a conditional use permit:
o Storage (enclosed building)
o Single-family dwelling
If approved, Storage (enclosed building) and Single-family dwelling should be the only permitted
uses on the property. Any changes to the uses proposed should require a modification to the
development agreement.
• The application site currently consists of two parcels. The applicant should be required to submit a
lot line adjustment application for review and approval by the City to consolidate the two parcels
into one parcel prior to the submittal of the first building permit.
A single-family dwelling and an accessory structure exist on the southern parcel within the
application site. The dwelling and accessory structure are proposed to remain on site, to be owned
by Stor-It Self Storage, LLC, and used as housing only for Stor-It management to live on -site to
provide 24-hour support. To provide additional privacy and buffering, the applicant should be
required to maintain a 25-foot minimum rear setback between the single-family dwelling and the
storage units, inclusive of landscape buffering to mitigate the visual impact of the storage facility.
The storage facility is proposed with fortress -style storage buildings. The applicant states in their
narrative that the exterior walls of the facility will be designed in accordance with the city's design
standards. The applicant should be required to construct the storage facility utilizing one of the nine
(9) architectural design styles identified within the Eagle Architecture and Site Design (EASD)
book, to be reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board and City Council. The design of
the facility should show articulation, accents, and changes of texture and/or materials along the
perimeter walls and/or fencing.
The landscape plan submitted with the application shows an approximately 23-foot (23') wide to
28-foot (28') wide landscape buffer along the western and northern property lines where the
proposed storage facility abuts an existing residential use and a vacant lot. To provide adequate
buffering for existing residential uses and unknown future uses, a ten foot (10') wide by six foot
(6') high minimum landscaped berm should be required to be constructed along the western and
northern property lines and landscaped in accordance with the requirements of Eagle City Code
Section 8-2A-7(J)(3).
The applicant should also be required to install a densely landscaped buffer with a minimum
3-foot (3') high berm where the storage facility abuts Beacon Light Road. The landscape buffer
and siting of the storage facility should be designed to mitigate the effects of the development on
adjacent land uses and to minimize the visual impact of the facility from Beacon Light Road. The
landscape plan including the proposed landscape buffering should be reviewed and approved by
the Design Review Board and City Council prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate.
• The landscape plan submitted with the application shows a five-foot (5') wide attached sidewalk
along North Hartley Road. Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(M)(1) states that sidewalks shall be
separated from the curb along all streets. The sidewalk along North Hartley Road should be
constructed as a detached sidewalk with an 8-foot (8') wide parkway strip between the sidewalk
and edge of curb.

PUBLIC HEARING OF THE COMMISSION:
A. A public hearing on the applications was held before the Planning and Zoning Commission on May 18,
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 applications was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission by
three (3) individuals, who stated:
• The project is well designed and will provide storage opportunities to accommodate growth in the
Treasure Valley.
• The conditions of the development agreement ensure the site will be designed and maintained in
accordance with city standards.
• The site is designed to not be disturbing to existing uses in the area.
C. Oral testimony in opposition to the applications was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission
by nineteen (19) individuals, who stated:
• Traffic will be negatively impacted, especially during holiday weekends as people are picking up
and returning RVs and boats.
• This type of facility is not in conformance with Eagle's design standards, and the proposed
architectural design is not compatible with surrounding homes.
• The facility is not in conformance with the text of the Village Planning Area and does not provide
employment opportunities to benefit the community.
• There is no need for additional storage in the area because most lots in the immediate vicinity are
large and contain RV garages, so the local community is not served or benefited.
• The proposed use is not truly "mixed -use" and is more industrial than commercial in nature.
• A commercial business would ruin the Beacon Light corridor. The rural nature of the city should
be preserved.
• The facility will increase crime in the area and decrease surrounding property values.
• The proposal does not meet any of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
• The use is too intensive to only be accessed by a local street.
• The 24-hour use of a public storage facility is not appropriate. Noise, light, traffic, and lines of sight
will be negatively impacted by the facility.
• The facility poses a safety issue due to the close proximity of the future Terra View Park,
considering the amount of large trucks entering and exiting the facility and the children playing at
the park.
• Maintaining the open space provides more of a community benefit than the storage facility would.
D. Rebuttal was presented by the applicant and representative, who stated:
• Facilities are monitored by 24-hour surveillance, and computerized gate access helps mitigate the
potential for crime or unwanted guests. The security footage is reviewed every morning to ensure
the facility is being used appropriately.
• The comprehensive plan speaks to goods and services being provided in the Village Planning Area,
and the storage facility would provide a service to the area.

• The facility is a low -impact commercial use. Traffic would not be significantly impacted by the
addition of the facility.
• Stor-It is a stable employer and the facility is well -run.
• The landscape buffering proposed is in excess of code requirements.
• The design review process will be essential in ensuring the facility fits the character of the
surrounding area.
COMMISSION DELIBERATION:
A summary of the deliberation can be found at the following link (Granicus time 01:58:53): hgps://eagle-
idranicus.com/pla ey r/clip/2234?view_id=1&redirect=true
Upon closing the public hearing, the Commission discussed during deliberation that:
• The applicant has stated that Stor-It is operated with high standards and the owners maintain a high -
quality facility, but the proposal is not appropriate at this location.
• The comprehensive plan designation includes a wide range of potential uses, but not every use is
compatible with surrounding areas.
• Every development proposal comes with concerns and opposition, but the proposal should be evaluated
based on compatibility with the comprehensive plan. The proposed facility generally meets the intent
of the Village/Community Center designation.
• The facility is a low -impact use and commercial uses in this area of the city are needed.
COMMISSION DECISION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered the application and on a 2 to 2 vote with one member
absent (Wright and McCauley in favor, Guerber and Oland against, Smith absent), failed to achieve a
majority on a motion to recommend denial. Accordingly, no recommendation is forwarded to City Council
for A-2025-06/RZDA-2025-08 for an annexation and rezone from RUT (Rural Urban Transition — Ada
County Designation) to MU-DA (Mixed Use with a development agreement) for C. W. Hurless with Stor-
It Self Storage, LLC.
