Josh,
Thank you for your hard work in preparing the Firenze Plaza staff report. We have reviewed the staff report and
generally agree with the conditions and findings.
The following are our comments and exceptions to the conditions:
1.1.1.1.d. – Typically street buffer construction is required with development of that portion of the project. The
first phase of development will be the commercial portion of the project; the commercial frontage of Amity and
Eagle Roads will be constructed in the first phase. S. Montague Way is existing. The east side of S. Montague
Way is between 500 -950’ away from the first phase of construction. We request that the landscape buffer on
the east side of S. Montague Way be constructed with development of Parcels A and B, respectfully, as stated in
1.1.1e.
2.1.1.1.f – The project provides a public courtyard plaza at the corner by the Eagle/Amity roundabout. We are
also proposing a natural pathway amenity in the open space around the commercial lots 6, 7, 8 and 9.
3.1.1.1.g – same comment as 1.1.1.f. above.
4.1.1.1.h. – Lots 6-9 are proposed as a C-C zone. The L-O zone is too limiting as it doesn’t allow retail uses.
5.1.1.1.j. – Parcel B is proposed as R-8. Our pre-application meeting with City staff recommended R-8.
6.1.1.1.l. – The two local streets are proposed to be constructed with the first phase. We request a waiver from
council for two (one on Amity and one on Eagle Road) right-in/right-outs from parcel 2.
7.1.1.1.m. – same comment as 1.1.1.l. above
8.1.1.2.a. – same comment as 1.1.1.d above.
9.1.1.3.a. – A Property Boundary Adjustment to create lots A and B is being processed with Ada County. Please
add “or a Property Boundary Adjustment with Ada County” to the end of this sentence.
Thank you again, we look forward to the Planning and Zoning hearing on Thursday.
