PUBLIC HEARING OF THE COMMISSION:
A. A public hearing on the application was held before the Planning and Zoning Commission on
October 16, 2000, at which time testimony was taken. The Commission continued the public
hearing to December 4, 2000, at which time additional testimony was taken and the public
hearing was closed.
B. Oral testimony in opposition to this proposal was presented to the Planning and Zoning
Commission by no one.
C. Oral testimony in favor of this proposal was presented to the Planning and Zoning
Commission by no one (not including the applicant/representative).
COMMISSION DECISION:
The Commission recommended denial (three to zero, two absent) of ZOA-4-00 for a
zoning ordinance amendment to Subsection 5 of Section 5 of Chapter 6 of Title 8 of the
Eagle City Code because the City is currently considering general revisions to the planned
unit development section of the City Code, of which this amendment is a part. The
Commission believes it would be better to wait until the City begins that revision and to
consider the proposed concept at that time so as to ensure consistency in the amended
provisions and to limit the possibility of including provisions at this time that may need to
be revised.
The applicant may submit the proposed changes at that time.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
1. The application for this item was received by the City of Eagle on September 12, 2000. On
November 16, 2000, revisions to this application were received by the City of Eagle.
2. Notice of Public Hearing on the application for the Eagle Planning and Zoning Commission
was published in accordance for requirements of Title 67, Chapter 65, Idaho Code and the
Eagle City ordinances on September 30,2000.
a. The Commission reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this
proposed zoning ordinance text amendment (ZOA-4-00) 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 zoning ordinance
text amendment may be compatible with the current zoning code, however, in
light of the proposed modifications anticipated by the Commission in the
future, the amendment should be considered at that time.
