COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN
REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL:
.
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates this site as Central Business District.
. The TransportationlPathway Network Map # 2 of 2 shows the extension of a proposed road
right-of-way through this site connecting Idaho Street to Stierman Way.

8.6 Implementation Strategies
r. Encourage planning oflocal roadway systems which will provide for intra-
neighborhood connectivity. The connecting roadways should be designed to not

C.
become collectors and to discourage traffic from cutting through neighborhoods
to go from a collector or arterial to another collector or arterial. Such intra-
neighborhood connectivity is for emergency and delivery vehicles and for local
intra-neighborhood access.
ZONING ORDINANCE PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING
THIS PROPOSAL:
.
ECC Section 8-1-2 CHILDCARE FACILITY:
Any facility where children regularly receive care and supervision, usually unaccompanied
by the children's parents, guardians or custodians, and regardless of whether the facility
does or does not provide any instruction.
There are three (3) types of childcare facilities:
A. Family Day Care Home: A childcare facility for six (6) or fewer children.
Babysitting services are an accessory use to residential uses.
B. Group Day Care Facility: A childcare facility for seven (7) to twelve (12)
children.
C. Day Care Center: A childcare facility for thirteen (13) or more children.
.
ECC Section 8-2-3 states that a Childcare (daycare center) requires a conditional use permit
within the CBD zoning district.
.
ECC Section 8-5-2 C: Change of Nonconforming Use:
If no structural alterations are made, any nonconforming use of a structure and land may,
upon the issuance of a conditional use permit by the Council, be changed to another
nonconforming use; provided, that the Council shall find that the proposed use is equally
appropriate or more appropriate to the district than the existing nonconforming use. In
permitting such change, the Council may require appropriate conditions and safeguards in
accord with other provisions of this Title.
DISCUSSION:
.
The applicant is proposing to offer educational instruction to young children who will attend
morning classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Regardless of whether or not the center
provides instruction, from the information provided to staff to date, staff has determined that
this proposed use is most similar to a Day Care Center (a childcare facility for thirteen (13) or
more children.) Eagle City Code Section 8-2-3 states that the operation of a Childcare
(daycare center) requires the approval of a conditional use permit within the CBD zoning
district.
.
This is a multi-phased project for the Eagle First Baptist Church. The first phase of this
project includes remodeling the existing 2,400-square foot shop building and adding a 450-
square foot building addition to the shop and using this building as the church facility for
approximately one year. The existing 1,986-square foot residential home is proposed to be
converted into an office and classroom facility and remain in it's current location until the first
phase of the church facility is constructed, at which time the office and classroom facility will
be moved into the main facility and required parking will be constructed. Upon completion of
phase one of the church facility, which consists of a 7,650-square foot church building, the
shop will become an auxiliary building to the church. The future building expansions for the
Page 6 of 13
K:IPlanning DeptlEagle ApplicationsICU\2003ICU-O7-03 pzfdoc
church facility and the office and classroom facility will be constructed in the future when
funds become available to the church.
.
The existing single-family dwelling and accessory buildings are considered non-conforming
uses due to a number of factors, including: the existing building footprint is approximately
3.4% of the total square footage of the site (20% is the minimum required within the TDA
overlay district), the single-family dwelling is not in conformance with the required setbacks
(i. e. the building is situated too far from the property boundaries; buildings within the TDA
overlay district are required to be located at maximum setbacks rather than minimum setbacks
to encourage consistent design standards within the downtown area); and a single-family
dwelling requires the approval of a conditional use permit with the CBD zone. Eagle City
Code Section 8-5-2 (C), states that a nonconforming use (through the approval of a conditional
use) may be changed to another nonconforming use provided that, the Council finds the
proposed use is equally appropriate or more appropriate to the district than the existing
nonconforming use. Since the site is currently under review for Design Review approval as a
church, and as such, is required to comply with Eagle City Code regarding improvements to
the site, staff recommends approval the Day Care Center as a non-conforming use.
.
This site is located at the eastern terminus ofIdaho Street and to the west of the three multi-
tenant commercial/office/retail buildings proposed on the property to the east of this site. The
TransportationlPathway Network Map # 2 of 2 shows the extension of a proposed road right-
of-way through this site connecting Idaho Street to Stierman Way. The applicant has designed
this site with the expectation that Idaho Street will be constructed from the current terminus (at
this site's west property line) through this site, through the proposed development to the east,
and continuing on to Stierman Way. The applicant has preliminarily agreed to donate the land
for the future extension of Idaho Street (as a condition of approval for the Design Review
application), of which streetscape improvements are not proposed to be constructed until the
entire roadway is constructed.
.
The improvements required for the development of this site are being directed through the
application process submitted for design review approval for a church facility (DR-44-02), of
which specific conditions of approval have not, as of this date, been acted upon. The Daycare
Center may, in this instance, be considered an auxiliary use in relation to the principal use
(church), and due to proposed phasing of the project, the site improvements will not
immediately materialize in time for the anticipated opening of the Daycare Center. As
allowed in Eagle City Code Section 8-5-2 (C), the Council may permit the continuation of the
non-conforming status of this site by allowing the Daycare Center to operate without
compliance with the minimum requirements for parking, landscaping, street improvements etc.
Further, continued operation of the Daycare Center would be dependant upon the approval of
the design review application for the church and the subsequent required improvements being
constructed. With this in mind, staff recommends that since there is no guarantee that
improvements to the site will be completed with this conditional use application, a time limit
of two (2) years should be placed on the operation of the Daycare Center. At the expiration of
this time limit, the City will evaluate the site for compliance with Eagle City Code regarding
improvements to the site, and may at that time, require the improvements to be made prior to
any further continuation of the Daycare Center operations.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
1. The application for this item was received by the City of Eagle on July 3,2003.
2. Notice of Public Hearing on the application for the Eagle Planning and Zoning Commission was
Page 11 of 13
K:\Planning DeptlEagle ApplicationsICU\2003\CU-O7-03 pzf.doc
published in accordance for requirements of Title 67, Chapter 65, Idaho Code and the Eagle City
ordinances on July 15, 2003. 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 July 10, 2003. Requests for agencies' reviews were
transmitted on July 8, 2003, in accordance with the requirements of the Eagle City Code.
3. The Planning and Zoning Commission has reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this
proposed conditional use and, in terms of Eagle City Code Section 8-7-3-2 "A thru I" (required findings
for approval of a conditional use), has made the following conclusions:
The proposed conditional use;
A. Will, in fact, constitute a conditional use as established in Section 8-2-3 of Eagle City
Code Title 8 for the CBD zoning district since a Daycare center requires the approval of a
conditional use permit in the CBD;
B. Will be harmonious with and in accordance with the general objectives or with any
specific objective of the Comprehensive Plan and/or this title (Eagle City Code Title 8)
since there are no inconsistencies with the Comprehensive Plan and since a Daycare center
requires the approval of a conditional use within the CBD zoning district and the
Comprehensive Plan designates this site as Central Business District;
C. Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to be harmonious and appropriate
in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and that such
use will not change the essential character of the same area since the church (of which this
application is a part) will be required to meet conditions of a design review application
and, in the event a church is not constructed, the City will review the daycare center within
two years of the approval of this application regarding conditions of compliance;
D. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighborhood uses since the
majority of the area surrounding the proposed daycare center is planned for commercial
uses and, since the church (of which this application is a part) will be required to install
buffers between this site and existing residential uses to the north;
E. 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; or
that the persons or agencies responsible for the establishment of the proposed use shall be
able to provide adequately any such services as noted is responses received by agencies
providing the public services or as represented by the applicant;
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 be required to improve the site with services such as central sewer and water
connections;
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 by reason
of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
H. Will have vehicular approaches to the property which are designed as not to create an
Page 12 of 13
K;IPlanning DeptlEagle Applications\CU\2003\CU-O7-03 pzf.doc
interference on surrounding public thoroughfares since the site will be required to design
and construct driveway access as approved by the highway district having jurisdiction; and
I.
Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of
major importance since none are apparent on this site.
4. This conditional use permit application for the Daycare Center does not specifically address parking,
paving and other site improvements as the development of the site is being directed through the design
review application process (DR-44-02).
