uses:
Total: = 32 parking spaces plus queue space for 5 cars for drive up service
L. APPLICANT'S STATEMENT OF JUSTIFICATION FOR THE REZONE:
The rezone to C-2 will allow this parcel to utilize the existing drive-thru component to the structure
for restaurant use. As this portion of the Chinden Blvd corridor continues to expand, improve and
redevelop, the potential for other commercial types of development such as a hotel or emergency
healthcare type facilities will be looking at this area as a place to provide services. By connecting
to and extending the existing C-2 zone area at this intersection, it will allow for these types of uses
in the future.
N. AVAILABILITY AND ADEQUACY OF UTILITIES AND SERVICES:
Police service is provided by the Eagle Police Department. The site is located within the Eagle Fire
District service boundary, and water is provided by Veolia Water.
The site is annexed into the Eagle Sewer District. In an email received by staff (attached to the staff
report) on May 8, 2026, the Eagle Sewer District stated that the modification to a restaurant will
likely result in upgrades to the wastewater system including a grease interceptor and additional
connection fees. The applicant is wholly responsible for upgrading the wastewater system and for
the cost of additional connection fees.
O. NON -CONFORMING USES:
Based upon the information available, the proposed rezone will not create any noncompliance
issues with regard to provisions of the Eagle City Code.
P. SPECIAL ON -SITE FEATURES:
Areas of Critical Environmental Concern — none

THE CITY COUNCIL RECEIVED AND REVIEWED THE FOLLOWING STAFF ANALYSIS
PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT AND ADOPTS THE STAFF REPORT AS PART OF
THE CITY COUNCIL'S FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN
REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL:
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map (adopted May 12, 2026), designates this site as the
following:
Commercial
Intended primarily for the development of a wide range of commercial activities including offices,
retail and service establishments. Uses should complement uses within Downtown Eagle. To
support regional accessibility and minimize impacts on downtown, large-scale and traditional big
box commercial development should be located near the city's periphery.
Chinden Terrace Planning Area
Land Uses
The Chinden Terrace Planning Area designated for mixed -use combining residential office, limited
retail, and community commercial uses. Parcel specific commercial (see Map 6.1) shall be located
at the northeast corner of Eagle Road and Chinden Boulevard.
Desi n
Shared parking and cross access agreements should be encouraged to achieve additional parking
for patrons using the area and to reduce the visual impact of individual parking lots.
Issues of Concern
Recent access restrictions (medians and limited turn movements) and long-range plans from ITD
will have impacts on the health and sustainability of commercial uses in this area.
Scenic Corridor
An overlay designation that is intended to provide significant setbacks from major corridors and
natural features through the city. These areas may require berming, enhanced landscaping,
detached meandering pathways and appropriate signage controls. This designation includes the
Willow Creek Scenic Corridor that is to provide increased setbacks and buffering of development
including natural vegetation and restoration, regional trails and connectivity.
B. ZONING CODE PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS
PROPOSAL:
• Eagle City Code Section 8-1-2: Rules and Definitions:
RESTAURANT WITH DRIVE -THROUGH: A restaurant, typically with indoor seating,
which includes drive -up window service for ordering food to go.
• Eagle City Code Section 8-2-1: Districts Established, Purposes and Restrictions:
C-1 NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS DISTRICT: To permit the establishment of convenience
business uses which tend to meet the daily needs of the residents of an immediate neighborhood
while establishing development standards that prevent adverse effects on residential uses
adjoining a C-1 district. Such districts are typically appropriate for small shopping clusters or
integrated shopping centers located within residential neighborhoods.

• Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(K): Parking Lot Landscaping:
Visual Impact: Landscaping shall be provided to minimize the visual impact of off street
parking:
Parking should be located to the side and rear of buildings and shall be screened so that it
does not dominate the streetscape. Fences, hedges, berms, and landscaping may be used
to screen parking areas (chainlink fencing shall not be permitted). In the design of large
parking areas, arrange bays of parking spaces to be separated by landscaping. When
parking lots occur on sloping terrain, step the parking lots to follow the terrain rather than
allowing the lot surface to extend above natural grade.
Parking Lot Landscape Strip: A landscape strip shall be provided when a parking lot is
located adjacent to a public right of way. The landscaped strip shall serve to shield views
of parked cars to passing motorists and pedestrians, and to establish coordination among
architecturally diverse buildings, which creates a pleasing, harmonious appearance along
the roadway.
Four (4) options are provided for fulfilling this requirement:
a. Provide a ten foot (10') wide landscaped strip between the right of way and the
parking lot, and plant with a minimum of one shade tree and ten (10) shrubs per thirty
five (35) linear feet of frontage, excluding driveway openings.
b. Provide an earth berm of thirty inches (30") minimum height (do not exceed 3:1
slope) within a ten foot (10') wide landscaped strip between the right of way and the
parking lot, and plant with a minimum of one shade tree and five (5) shrubs per thirty
five (35) linear feet of frontage, excluding driveway openings.
c. Provide a six foot (6') landscaped strip with a minimum thirty inch (30") grade drop
from the right of way to the parking lot, and plant with a minimum of one shade tree
and five (5) shrubs per thirty five (35) linear feet of frontage, excluding driveway
openings.

d. Provide a three foot (3') high fence of wood, brick, stone, or decorative block or
concrete along with a four foot (4') wide landscaped strip between the right of way
and the parking lot, and plant a minimum of one shade tree and five (5) shrubs per
thirty five (35) linear feet of frontage, excluding driveway openings.
(1) The board may waive the requirement for a wood, brick, stone, decorative block or
concrete fence if the board finds the following:
(A) The applicant must design, document, and obtain city approval representing that
the overall planting design, at the time of planting, results in an effective barrier
such that the landscape strip shields the view of parked cars from passing
pedestrians and motorists; and
(B) Any such proposed design alternative is compatible with the overall site design of
the entire project and is compatible with the surrounding area.
Eagle City Code Section 8-7-3-5: Conditional Use Permit:
D. Conditions Of Permit: Upon the granting of a conditional use permit, conditions may be
attached to said permit including, but not limited to, those:
7. Requiring more restrictive standards than those generally required in this title.
E. Transfer Of Permit: A conditional use permit is not transferable from one parcel of land
to another. Conditional use permits are an entitlement to the specific property on which
the approval was granted and upon any transfer of title for the property the conditional
use permit transfers to the new owner(s) without further application or approval,
provided, however, the new owner(s) shall be bound by the same conditions of approval

conditional use permit within sixty (60) days of purchase and receipt by the new owners
of actual notice of the existence of the conditional use permit for the parcel, whichever
event occurs later; otherwise, the permit may be declared void after notice and public
hearing before the city council.
• Eagle City Code Section 8-10-1: Requirements and Restrictions for 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.
C. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN
REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL:

this Agreement, the Property can be developed and used consistent with the Neighborhood
Business District and General Business District land uses allowed by the Eagle City Code
Section 8-2-3 "Official Schedule of District Regulations", existing at the time a design review
application or conditional use permit application (whichever the case may be) is made for
individual building use.
All uses shown as "P" permitted under the C-1 and C-2 zoning designation within Eagle City
Code Section 8-2-3 "Official Schedule of District Regulations", shall be considered

In addition to all other use prohibited within said section of Eagle City Code and on the entire
Property as noted above, the following uses shall also be prohibited on the Property.
• Adult Business
• Automotive, Mobile Home, Travel Trailer, and/or Farm Implement Sales
• Automotive Repair
• Automotive Washing Facility
• Bar (except if incidental to a restaurant use)
• Billiard or Pool Hall

• Warehouse or Industrial Uses
D. DISCUSSION:
Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-2-3 "Official Schedule of District Regulations",
operation of a restaurant with a drive -through is a prohibited use within the C-1 (Neighborhood
Business District) zoning district and a conditional use within the C-2 (General Business
District) zoning district. The applicant is requesting a rezone of the property from C-1-DA to
C-2-DA to allow for the submittal of a conditional use permit application for the operation of
a restaurant with a drive -through (Habit Burger). The applicant is also requesting a
development agreement modification to reflect the rezone to C-2-DA within the conditions of
development.
Subsequently, the applicant has submitted a conditional use permit application to allow for the
operation of a restaurant with a drive -through (Habit Burger). If the rezone, development
agreement modification, and conditional use permit are approved, Habit Burger should be
allowed to operate a restaurant with a drive -through in the existing commercial building at
3314 East Chinden Boulevard.
Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-7-3-5(E), conditional use permits are an entitlement to
the specific property on which the approval was granted and upon any transfer of title for the
property the conditional use permit transfers to the new owner(s) along with the conditions of
approval applicable to the permit that was transferred. Eagle City Code Section 8-7-3-5(D)(7),
states that upon the granting of a conditional use permit, conditions may be attached to said
permit requiring more restrictive standards than those generally required in this title. If the
applicant's request for a conditional use permit for a restaurant with a drive -through is
approved, the conditional use permit should not apply or be transferable to any tenant besides
Habit Burger. Any future tenant of the commercial building should be required to comply with
the Eagle City Code Section 8-2-3 "Official Schedule of District Regulations" and require a
conditional use permit if the land use is identified as "C" — conditional use, including but not
limited to a restaurant with a drive -through.
Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(K), a landscape strip shall be provided when a
parking lot is located adjacent to a public right of way. Additionally, Eagle City Code Section
8-2A-7(L) states that landscaped strips shall be provided between all building development and
public rights of way. The landscaped strip shall be ten feet (10') wide minimum and planted
with one shade tree and ten (10) shrubs for every thirty-five feet (35') of street frontage. Two
(2) ornamental or two (2) evergreen trees may be substituted for one shade tree.

CC.docx
Due to the increased impact of a restaurant with a drive -through, the applicant should be
required to enhance the existing landscape strip along the north side of Chinden Boulevard in
such a way as to complement the entirety of the development and should be designed according
to the standards within Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(K&L). The landscape screening should
be a minimum of thirty-six inches (36") high (measured from the finished surface of the drive -
through) and may include screening elements such as berming, decorative block wall,
evergreen plant material, or combination thereof to reduce the impact of the vehicles utilizing
the drive-thru lanes (i.e. vehicle headlights and vehicle queueing). The applicant should submit
a Design Review application for the landscaping modifications, and a zoning certificate should
be issued prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the commercial building.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
1. The Council reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of the proposed rezone with a development
agreement modification (RZDA-95-MOD5) 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
development agreement modification is in accordance with the City of Eagle Comprehensive Plan and
established goals and objectives because:
a. The requested zoning designation of C-2-DA (General Business District with a development
agreement) is consistent with the Commercial designation as shown on the Comprehensive Plan
Land Use Map because the permitted land uses for the C-2 zoning district within Eagle City Code
Section 8-2-3 "Schedule of District Regulations" include offices, retail, and service establishments
as identified in the Commercial designation of the Comprehensive Plan. The C-2 zoning district is
identified as a compatible district with the Commercial designation within the Zoning
Compatibility Matrix (Figure 6.8) of the Comprehensive Plan;
b. The information provided from the agencies having jurisdiction over the public facilities needed
for this site indicated that adequate public facilities exist to continue to serve the existing
commercial uses that exist on the site and any proposed commercial use and on this property under
the proposed zone;
c. The proposed C-2-DA (General Business District with a development agreement) zone is
compatible with the C-1-DA (Neighborhood District with a development agreement) zone and land
use to the north since the subject property is already developed as a commercial center and the area
zoned C-1-DA is subject to the same development agreement. The development agreement
regulates design standards such as landscaping, building height, and lighting, as well as the land
uses permitted within the development. Any deviation from the terms and concept plan found
within the development agreement would require City Council approval following a public hearing;
d. The proposed C-2-DA (General Business District with a development agreement) zone is
compatible with the MX-3 (Mixed Use: Active — City of Boise Designation) zone and land use to
the south since the development consists of similar commercial uses and is separated by a principal
arterial (State Highway US-20/US-26; Chinden Boulevard);

CC.docx
e. The proposed C-2-DA (General Business District with a development agreement) zone is
compatible with the C-1-DA (Neighborhood District with a development agreement) zone and land
use to the east since the subject property is already developed as a commercial center and the area
zoned C-1-DA is subject to the same development agreement. The development agreement
regulates design standards such as landscaping, building height, and lighting, as well as the land
uses permitted within the development. Any deviation from the terms and concept plan found
within the development agreement would require City Council approval following a public hearing;
f. The proposed C-2-DA (General Business District with a development agreement) zone is
compatible with the R-1-P (Residential — PUD) and C-2-DA (C-2-DA (General Business District
with a development agreement) zones and land use to the west since the subject property is already
developed as a commercial center and is separated by a principal arterial (State Highway 55; Eagle
Road). The site is subject to a development agreement that restricts certain land uses and building
footprints and any deviation from the terms and concept plan found within the development
agreement would require City Council approval following a public hearing;
g. The land proposed for rezone is not located within a "Hazard Area" and "Special Area" as described
within the Comprehensive Plan;
h. No non -conforming uses are expected to be created with this rezone.
2. The Council reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed conditional use permit
(CUP-2025-12) in terms of Eagle City Code Section 8-7-3-2, "General Standards For Conditional
Uses" and has concluded that the proposed conditional use:
A. Will, in fact, constitute a conditional use as established in Eagle City Code Section 8-2-3 since a
restaurant with a drive -through may be permitted within the C-2 zoning district with the approval
of a conditional use permit;
B. Will be harmonious with and in accordance with the general objectives of the Comprehensive Plan
and Eagle City Code Title 8, (as shown within the findings provided within this document), because
the proposed use is consistent with the identification of service establishments in the Commercial
designation of the Comprehensive Plan. Any future tenants of the building are to provide a traffic
impact study showing the same or less traffic and vehicle queuing impacts, as required by the site
specific conditions within this document. The site of the proposed restaurant is also located in the
Chinden Terrace Planning Area within the Comprehensive Plan, which identifies community -based
commercial uses to be suitable along Chinden Boulevard;
C. Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to be harmonious and appropriate in
appearance with the existing character of the general vicinity because the existing building is
intended to remain, and the landscape buffer along Chinden Boulevard is required to be enhanced
to inhibit the impacts of vehicle headlights and vehicle queuing through a design review application
for building and landscape modifications;
D. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighborhood uses, since the commercial
center of Eagle Marketplace has already been developed, the proposed restaurant will utilize an
existing commercial building, and is isolated from existing and future neighborhood sites to the
north and east because of restricted access to and from Eagle Marketplace;
E. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities such as vehicular and pedestrian access from
Chinden Boulevard and Eagle Road (Idaho Transportation Department) , police protection from
Eagle Police Department, fire protection from Eagle Fire Department, drainage structures from the
existing commercial development, refuse disposal from Hardin Sanitation, water service from
Veolia Water, and sewer service from Eagle Sewer District as noted in the documentation provided
from said agencies and as required as a part of the conditions of approval;

CC.docx
F. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities and services
and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community, since the applicant will bear
all costs of development and will be required to pay for facility and service improvements including
but not limited to wastewater grease interceptors required by the Sewer District or applicable traffic
impact fees required by ACHD;
G. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that
will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare since the transportation system
has been found to adequately serve the site by ACHD and ITD, the development is required to have
enhanced landscape screening to inhibit the impacts of headlights onto Chinden Boulevard, and
since a similar restaurant (with a drive -through) use has existed approximately 200-feet south of
the site on the south side of Chinden Boulevard;
H. Will have vehicular approaches to the property which are designed as not to create an interference
with traffic on surrounding public thoroughfares as approved by ACHD and ITD; and
I. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major
importance, since the proposed restaurant with a drive -through use is intended to operate within
the existing building on the property.
3. Failure to comply with all provisions and any condition of approval of this conditional use permit may
result in a compliance hearing in front of the City Council at which time the Council may add conditions
to the permit, modify existing permit conditions, or revoke all or part of the permit.
4. Eagle City Code Section 8-7-3-5: C (2) (c) states that the Council shall specify, "The actions, if any,
that the applicant may take to obtain a permit".
Regulatory Takings Analysis Notice: Applicant has the right to request a regulatory takings analysis
pursuant to Idaho Code Section 67-8003.
