GENERAL SITE DESIGN FEATURES:
Open Space, Greenbelt Areas and Landscape Screening:
Will provide a total of 17% of common area. (17.4% required - see site data above)
The applicant states, "The layout and development plan was made with consideration for the
needs and desires of a maturing population. A high percentage (17%) of the development has
been designated as common area. Common areas are situated as near to the individual homes as
possible. Two garden areas totaling more than 5,000 SF are located in the development to give
residents the opportunity to work in and contribute to the landscaping of their community. The
common areas will be managed by an owners association and offer the residents the opportunity
to be fully involved or nearly void of yard work.
The development will have security gates at the entrance and a public transportation terminal will
be constructed near State Street to accommodate buses or van transportation for the residents. A
walk way through the southern portion of the development will provide access to the Rocky
Mountain Fitness Center, a full service health and fitness club."
Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7 (J)(4)(b) requires a minimum 50-foot wide landscape buffer area
between minor arterials and new residential developments.
Berming, fencing and landscaping details are required for Design Review Board review and

piping, will be developed in the drainage easements. Also, the CC&R' s are to contain clauses to
be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer and City Attorney, requiring that lots be so graded
that all runoff runs either over the curb, or to the drainage easement, and that no runoff shall cross
any lot line onto another lot except within a drainage easement.
Utility and Drainage Easements, and Underground Utilities:
Eagle City Code section 9-3-6 requires utility easements to be not less than 12 feet wide.

ECC Section 8-2A-7 (J)(4)(a)
Major Roadways: New residential developments, including, but not limited to, subdivisions and
multi-family developments, shall be buffered from streets classified as collectors, arterials,
freeways, or expressways, to protect residential communities from noisy, potentially dangerous,
high-speed roads. The buffer area shall be deemed as the distance from the outside wall of the
lowest story of any single-family attached or detached dwelling and the right-of-way line of the
roadway. The lowest story must be screened from the view of any street classified as a collector,
arterial, freeway, or expressway. This buffer is required either on individual lots or as an
easement, or as part of the common open space owned and maintained by a homeowners'
association. Any landscaping proposed to be within the public right of way shall not be included
as a part of the buffer area required below. The height for berming/fencing, as noted below, shall
be measured from the elevation of the final grade of the adjacent roadway (measured at the center
line) to the top of the proposed berming/fencing. The required buffer area width, plantings, and
fencing are as follows:
Any road designated as a minor arterial on the AP A Functional Street Classification Map:
A minimum of fifty feet (50') wide buffer area (not including right of way) shall be provided with
the following plants per one hundred (100) linear feet of right of way: five (5) shade trees, eight
(8) evergreen trees, three (3) flowering/ornamental trees, and twenty four (24) shrubs. Each
required shade tree may be substituted with two (2) flowering/ornamental trees, provided that not
more than fifty percent (50%) of the shade trees are substituted.
A minimum five foot (5') high, maximum eight foot (8') high, berm, panelized vinyl fence,
decorative block wall or cultured stone, decorative rock, or similarly designed concrete wall, or
combination thereof shall be provided within the buffer area. The maximum slope for any berm
shall be three feet (3') horizontal distance to one foot (1') vertical distance. If a panelized vinyl
fence, decorative block wall, or cultured stone, decorative rock, or similarly designed concrete
wall is to be provided, in combination with the berm, a four foot (4') wide flat area at the top of
the berm shall be provided for the placement of the fence or decorative block wall. Panelized
vinyl fencing shall be no higher than four feet (4'). Chainlink, cedar, and similar high maintenance
and/or unsightly fencing shall not be permitted.
The five foot (5') minimum height requirement for the berming/fencing shall be permitted to be
decreased one foot (1') for every thirteen feet (13') of additional buffer area added to the fifty foot
(50') wide buffer noted above.
C. SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE PROVISIONS WHICH OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS
PROPOSAL: (None)
D. DISCUSSION:
.
The MU (Mixed Use) zoning designation for this site sets the maximum density limit at 20-units per acre
(112-units for a PUD for this site). The applicant is proposing 42-units which is 70-units (62%) less than
112 units.
.
Eagle City Code Section 8-6-6-3, requires all final development plans to be reviewed by the Planning and
Zoning Commission as well as the City Council. This is partly to allow for additional City review for
flexibility needed for long range and large PUDs.
.
Regarding Eagle City Code findings for a conditional use permit, planned unit development preliminary
development plan, and preliminary plat - As a part of the application submittal for this project, and in
accordance with application submittal requirement #14, the applicant has provided a 4 page document,
dated January 11, 2000. The document outlines how the applicant intends to guarantee that this project
will meet the Eagle City Code required fmdings for a conditional use permit, planned unit development
Page 9 of 19
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2000\Pacific Heights PUD pzf.doc
preliminary development plan, and preliminary plat. Staff has reviewed the document and believes that the
findings have been well addressed.
.
The applicant states that a buffer area is proposed to be installed along the northern portion of this site
abutting State Street. Specific details regarding berm size, height, landscaping and slope of the berm have
not been submitted to the City to date. As part of the design review for the site, the applicant should
provide specific berm construction and landscaping details as required by ECC Sections 9-3-7 (A) and 8-
2A-7 (J)(4)(b).
.
The applicant is proposing approximately 17% site landscaping. The minimum landscaping required for
this site (due to the offsetting increase needed for smaller lot sizes) is 17.4%. The 0.4% deficiency is
approximately 1,313 square feet and could be gained by making Lot 27 (common lot at south end of site)
larger to allow for emergency traffic access. The applicant should increase the width of Lot 27 to
approximately 25-feet and should landscape the center of the lot (middle 16-feet) with grass crete to
provide a solid surface for emergency vehicle travel, or other method approved by the Fire Department and
the Design Review Board. The remainder of the lot should be landscaped with shrubs, trees, etc.
.
The applicant is proposing 15-foot wide common lots (Lot 11 & Lot 13) between the dwelling units and
the street. This common lot (located in the front yard area) is proposed to be usable open space for the
residences within this subdivision. To give this area more of an "open space" feel, staff recommends that
the sidewalk meander within the 15-foot wide lot, street trees be installed every 35-feet (alternating the
placement of the trees on both sides of the sidewalk), and that fences (of any height) and structures be
prohibited from being located in the common area. Landscaping such as shrubs, flowers, grasses, etc.
should also be included. Specific sidewalk location and planting and fence details should be reviewed as
part of the design review for the site.
.
With regard Eagle City Code Section 9-3-2-5 (A), "General Standards" for private streets, staff has the
following comments:
1. Unique or special circumstances exist with respect to the proposed use, design, location, topography,
or other features of the development or its surroundings such that the private street will serve to
enhance the overall development. The following reasons support the above noted rIDding:
Since private roads can be gated, the proposed 1,200- foot long gated private road will enhance the
development by creating an environment that will provide an additional level of security for the senior
community within the site;
2. The private street within the subdivision provide safe and effective movement of both vehicular and
pedestrian traffic because of the following:
The traffic will be limited to "one-way" through the site which will decrease conflicts between
automobiles and pedestrians in the area and the sidewalks within the site provide a pedestrian
connection between State Street and E. Iron Eagle Drive (shown as Rocky Mountain Way on this plat);
3. The private street provides adequate access for service and emergency vehicles:
The Eagle Fire District has recommended approval within their response received by the City on
January 27, 2000, and the site will have primary access to State Street and a secondary emergency
access via E. Iron Eagle Drive (shown as Rocky Mountain Way on this plat);
4. The private street within the subdivision does not adversely affect access to adjacent properties:
The private street will not adversely affect access to adjacent properties since it will not connect one
public street to another and since it does not take away existing public street accesses to surrounding
properties;
5. The private street will not landlock adjacent property since it will be located within a common lot
within the subdivision, and since all adjacent properties currently have access to public roadways;
Page 10 of 19
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2000\Pacific Heights POD pzf.doc
6. The private street within the subdivision does not connect one public street to another;
7. The use or alignment of the private street within the subdivision does not interfere with the continuity
of public streets as noted above; and
8. An appropriate mechanism will be established for the repair and maintenance of the private street,
including provisions for the funding thereof, within the required CC&R's for the subdivision and with
any necessary notes to be provided on the [mal plat, all to be reviewed and approved by the City
Engineer and City Attorney prior to City approval of the final plat.
ST AFF RECOMMENDATION PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT:
Staff recommends approval with the site specific conditions of approval and the standard conditions of
approval provided within the staff report.
PUBLIC HEARING OF THE COMMISSION:
A. A public hearing on the application was held before the Planning and Zoning Commission on March 6, 2000.

Commission made their recommendation at that time.
B. Oral testimony in opposition to the application was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission by no
one.
C. Oral testimony in favor of the application was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission by two (2)
individuals (not including the applicant or their representative) who generally felt that this type of senior citizen
development will be beneficial to the community. The only concern expressed by of one of the individuals was
that adequate fencing should be installed around the development.
The applicant testified in favor of this proposal and stated that the CC&R's will prohibit RV's from being
located within the subdivision.
D. Oral testimony neither in favor nor in opposition to the application was presented by one (1) individual to the
Planning and Zoning Commission who wanted a white, vinyl fence installed along a portion of the
development's west property line.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
A. The applications for this item were received by the City of Eagle on January 12, 2000.
B. Notice of Public Hearing on the application for the Eagle Planning and Zoning Commission was published in
accordance forrequirements of Title 67, Chapter 65, Idaho Code and the Eagle City ordinances on February 11,
2000. Notice of this public hearing was mailed to property owners within three-hundred feet (300-feet) of the
subject property in accordance with the requirements of Title 67, Chapter 65, Idaho Code and Eagle City Code
on February 11, 2000. Requests for agencies' reviews were transmitted on January 21, 2000, in accordance
with the requirements of the Eagle City Code.
C. In accordance with Eagle City Code findings for a conditional use permit, planned unit development
preliminary development plan, and preliminary plat the Eagle Planning and Zoning Commission makes the
following conclusions for CU-I-00/PPUD-I-00/PP-I-00 (Pacific Heights Planned Unit Development), as
proposed with the conditions recommended herein:
1. That the proposed PUD is in the public interest, advances the general welfare of the community and
neighborhood, and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community because;
The project is being proposed because of the proximity of the property to other existing developments
within the city of Eagle. There are a minimal number of upscale residential properties for retired or nearly
retire individuals within the city. Lack of this type of development prevents the City of Eagle from
attTacting this small, but growing, section of the population demographics. Citizens in this section of the
public are considered good citizens and contribute greatly to a growing community.
Page 16 of 19
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2000\Pacific Heights PUD pzf.doc
The physicallocation of this development will provide a transition area between the developing Rocky
Mountain Business Park and the less dense residential development north of State Street. This is one of the
goals of the Eagle Comprehensive Plan.
2. That the development be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to be hannonious and appropriate
in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and how such use will not
change the essential character of the same area because;
Dwellings in the development will be designed by the same Architectural finn and the construction will be
done by the developers own crews. This will control the amount of variation and will provide quality
control on the construction. Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions will be established for all property
owners to follow. A homeowner association will be a required part of living in the development. It will
monitor and regulate day to day operation within the development. Maintenance of the common lots
within the development will be conducted by contract from homeowner fees and assessments.
3. That the development will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighborhood uses because;
The development will have a single access off State Street, a collector transportation route for Eagle. All
development uses will be concentrated inward as access will be by a private loop road. Perimeter
dwellings will act as a barrier to the surrounding neighborhood.
4. That the development does not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment, and/or conditions
of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive
production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors because;
No major impacts are expected. This development should only develop nonnal traffic that would be
related to a 42-10t subdivision development.
5. That the development will be served adequately by essential public facilities such as highways, streets,
police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer, and schools because;
All municipal services are available to the site. Development of sewer, water, drainage, streets and other
urban services will be provided at the developer's expense. School system will be minimally impacted as
few retired or nearly retired people have school aged children.
6. That the development will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities
and services because;
All public facilities and services are supplied by the developer and must be approved at the time of
installation and before acceptance by the sewer, water or road district. Because the developer provides the
services in the initial stages of development the public service providers avoid potential liability and
expenses.
7. That the development is provided with parks, ponds, open areas, areas of special interest, floodplain
preservation, and/or other special features which would not typically be provided in a non-PUD proposal
because;
The layout and development plan was made with consideration for the needs and desires of a maturing
population. A high percentage (17%) of the development has been designated as common area. Common
areas are situated as near to the individual homes as possible. Two garden areas totaling more than 5,000
SF are located in the development to give residents the opportunity to work in and contribute to the
landscaping of their community. The common areas will be managed by an owners association and offer
the residents the opportunity to be fully involved or nearly void of yard work.
The development will have security gates at the entrance and a public transportation tenninal will be
constructed near State Street to accommodate buses or van transportation for the residents. A walk way
Page 17 of 19
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2000\Pacific Heights POD pzf.doc
through the southern portion of the development will provide access to the Rocky Mountain Fitness Center,
a full service health and fitness club.
8. That the vehicular approaches to the property are designed to not create an interference with traffic on
surrounding public thoroughfares because;
Access to the development will be from State Street and there will be no impact to any other roads. Impact
to State Street will be minimal. Most of the through traffic for Eagle and points west use the Eagle bypass
and the addition traffic from this development should not burden the capacity of State Street. Access onto
and exiting from State Street should not be a problem as a center turn lane exists and adequate area exists
on the development approach to provide safe access.
9. That the development will not result in the destruction, loss, or damage of a natural, scenic or historic
feature of major importance because;
The project area is relatively small, 5.61 acres and the entire area has been transformed and had human
uses for many years. Small commercial businesses have used the area adjacent to State Street and the
remainder of the property has been used for agriculture purposes. Past use has resulted in the land being
leveled with irrigation and drainage structures being constructed. Several small storage and out buildings
have been constructed and part of the area has been used for subsurface disposal area. If any historic
features existed on the property they have probably been destroyed by past use. Scenic value of the
currently unmanaged agriculture uses property will be increased by the construction of the project. Views
from the area will still contain panoramic views of Shafer Butte, the lights of Bogus Basin and the Owyhee
Mountains.
10. That the proposed development will be harmonious with and in accordance with the general objectives or
with any specific objective of the Comprehensive Plan because;
The proposed development is an ideal fit with the Comprehensive Plan. Current zoning classification
encourages this type of development. The Comprehensive Plan under land use states, "Development
within this land classification should be required to proceed through the PUD and/or Development
Agreement process. Residential densities of up to twenty dwelling units per gross acre may be considered
by the City for this area. "
11. That the proposed development will be harmonious with and in accordance with the general objectives or
with any specific objective of Eagle City Code Title 8 because;
This application requests approval for Development Plan and Condition Use Permit be granted for this
PUD development. Current zoning for the property as shown on the 2000 Comprehensive Plan for Eagle,
Idaho as mixed use. The proposed development will be in full agreement with the existing zoning
classification.
12. That the benefits, combination of various land uses, and interrelationship with the surrounding area for this
proposed development justifies any proposed deviation from any standard district regulations because;
The proposed smaller lot sizes and setbacks are essential to creating an affordable senior community
proposed by the Pacific Heights PUD. The effect will be to provide an increased choice of housing for
seniors in the Eagle area.
D. With regard Eagle City Code Section 9-3-2-5 (A), "General Standards" for private streets, the Commission has
determined that:
1.
Unique or special circumstances exist with respect to the proposed use, design, location, topography, or
other features of the development or its surroundings such that the private street will serve to enhance the
overall development. The following reasons support the above noted finding:
Page 18 of 19
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2000\Pacific Heights PUD pzf.doc
Since private roads can be gated, the proposed 1,200-foot long gated private road will enhance the
development by creating an environment that will provide an additional level of security for the senior
community within the site;
2.
The private street within the subdivision provide safe and effective movement of both vehicular and
pedestrian traffic because of the following:
The traffic will be limited to "one-way" through the site which will decrease conflicts between automobiles
and pedestrians in the area and the sidewalks within the site provide a pedestrian connection between State
Street and E. Iron Eagle Drive (shown as Rocky Mountain Way on this plat);
The private street provides adequate access for service and emergency vehicles:
3.
4.
The Eagle Fire District has recommended approval within their response received by the City on January
27, 2000, and the site will have primary access to State Street and a secondary emergency access via E.
Iron Eagle Drive (shown as Rocky Mountain Way on this plat);
The private street within the subdivision does not adversely affect access to adjacent properties:
5.
The private street will not adversely affect access to adjacent properties since it will not connect one public
street to another and since it does not take away existing public street accesses to surrounding properties;
The private street will not landlock adjacent property since it will be located within a common lot within
the subdivision, and since all adjacent properties currently have access to public roadways;
6.
7.
The private street within the subdivision does not connect one public street to another;
The use or alignment of the private street within the subdivision does not interfere with the continuity of
public streets as noted above; and
8.
An appropriate mechanism will be established for the repair and maintenance of the private street,
including provisions for the funding thereof, within the required CC&R's for the subdivision and with any
necessary notes to be provided on the final plat, all to be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer and
City Attorney prior to City approval of the [mal plat.
