This development will be initiated within one year of the date of final plat approval; 2. Moscato Secco Subdivision No. 1, as conditioned herein, will be capable of creating an environment of sustained desirability and stability. The required improvements to public utility and roadway infrastructure can support the intensity and scale of the development as indicated by the agencies that will serve the development. The landscape plan, as approved through the design review process, will include design features and open space amenities, which will be maintained by the homeowner's association. The conditions of development also require the establishment of an architectural control committee to ensure that homes and accessory structures are built to the approved design standards. Surrounding uses will benefit from improved accessibility to public services through the extension of utility infrastructure and the local roadway network. The required improvements to West Floating Feather Road, a primary transportation corridor, are intended to mitigate impacts to the transportation system and improve pedestrian and bicycle safety by providing a multiuse pathway. Additionally, adequate assurance that the development will attain such objectives is provided by the development agreement and the final development plan, as conditioned herein; 3. The streets and thoroughfares to be constructed are suitable and adequate to carry anticipated traffic, and the approved densities will not generate traffic in such amounts as to overload the street network outside the PUD. The development has been evaluated and conditioned with development requirements by the Ada County Highway District (ACHD) and the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD), and the applicant has entered into a Transportation Mitigation Agreement with ITD; 4. No commercial development is proposed within this phase of development; 5. Any exception from standard district requirements is warranted by the design and amenities incorporated in the final development plan. The varied lot sizes, setbacks, and other dimensional regulations, as specifically approved by the City Council, allow a variety of housing and building types within the development in accordance with Eagle City Code Section 8-6-1. Additionally, the design incorporates community pathways and sidewalks for residents to access the centrally located open space area, which includes a covered picnic shelter with picnic tables and a field for recreation. The community pathways within the development are also planned as part of a pathway network which will provide accessibility to the future public school site; 6. The area surrounding Moscato Secco Subdivision No. 1 can be planned and zoned in coordination and substantial compatibility with the proposed development. Moscato Secco Subdivision No. 1 and the existing and future phases of the Torrente Secco development to the north, east, and west are subject to a development agreement that includes conditions to ensure the density and design are compatible with the surrounding area. The final development plan for Moscato Secco Subdivision No. 1 is in accordance with the development agreement. Additionally, the required improvements to West Floating Feather Road, as required by ACHD and as conditioned herein, are intended to support long range planning goals for the area by improving pedestrian and vehicular transportation and connectivity; Page 6 of 7 K1Planning Depffagle Applications\Subdivisions\Tonente Secco\15-Moscato Secco No. I - FP, FPUD\03-Working Files\01-City Council\02-CC Findings\Moscato Secco Subdivision No. (- Findings CC.doc 7. The final development plan, as conditioned herein, is in general conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
