Location: CPA request: 1665, 1705, and 1725 W. Pine. AZ request: 1725 W. Pine Avenue oFF/CF
Applications: CPA to change the future land use map designation on 2.05 acres of land,
consisting of 3 tax parcels, from medium density residential to commercial. Annexation &
Zoning of 0.76 of an acre (0.86 incl. ROW), consisting of 1 tax parcel, with a C-N zoning district
(1725 W. Pine Avenue)
Highlights of Proposed Development: No development is proposed at this time on the parcels at
1665 & 1705 W. Pine Avenue. The applicant has submitted a concept plan showing how the
property at 1725 W. Pine Avenue is proposed to redevelop with an approximate 70' x 81'
addition to the existing structure. The site is proposed to house Flow Aquatics, a corporation
specializing in learn-to-swim lessons for beginners and stroke instruction for valley tri-athletes and other
more advanced swimmers.
Commission Recommendation: Approval at their February 19, 2009 public hearing.
Summary of Commission Public Hearing:
i. In favor: Garland Goff, Shannon Hamrick, Kevin Warner, Kathie Fogg, T. J. Clifford, Rock
Brown
ii. In opposition: None
iii. Commenting: None
iv. Written testimony: Letters in support of the proposed AZ for a swim facility were received from
61 individuals. Those names are included in the staff report.
Key Issue(s) of Discussion by Commission:
i. Discussion regarding class sizes, how many people will use the facility at one time, how long
classes are, and how many people will be served by the business each day (AZ site);
ii. Parking availability on the AZ site for larger vehicles such as buses;
iii. Discussion on limiting the type of use allowed on the AZ site to an aquatic fitness facility.
Key Commission Change(s) to Staff Recommendation: Add a DA provision that limits future use of the
site to an aquatic fitness facility as proposed by the applicant with this application (see DA provision #~.
Outstanding Issue(s) for City Council:
i. Determine whether or not future uses on the site proposed to be annexed should be limited to only
an aquatic fitness facility, as recommended by the Commission. The applicant is requesting this
provision be removed; or instead, consider prohibiting certain uses that may not be acceptable,
as suggested by the applicant.
ii. The applicant requests the requirement for cross-access to be provided to the properties to the east
and west be removed. Please note that this would require approval of a variance application.
iii. The applicant requests that mitigation not be required for the 2 trees necessary to be removed for
a Fire Department turnaround.
Written Testimony since P&Z Meeting: Response from Applicant to staff report (see outstanding issues

Project: River Planning Area
Location: The subject property is located on the north and south sides of Duck Alley Lane,
approximately 0.4 mile west of N. Linder Road on the south side of the Boise River.
Application: Request to amend the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map by adding 54.9
acres of property to the map with a "public/quasi-public" designation for floodway areas, and
"low density residential" designation for areas outside of the floodway.
Highlights of the Request: This property is currently designated in the River Planning Area of
Eagle's Comprehensive Plan. The subject request is only to include this area on the City's future
land use map and assign a future land use designation; No development is proposed at this time.
This area is within the North Chinden Area of the Comprehensive Plan which calls for lot sizes
between %Z and 1 acre, thus ensuring compatibility with the existing homes in this area.
Approval of the amendment will eliminate an area of city impact and planning area overlap,
establish certainty for property owner regarding the potential future use of their property and
provide certainty for each city in planning and providing future services. Because the Boise
River is on the north and east sides of the subject property, and the City of Meridian has
designated future land uses to the south and west, it seems practical to add this area to Meridian's
planning area. This will allow the Boise River to serve as the future boundary between Eagle and
Meridian in this area and keep costs of providing future services in check (service lines from
Eagle will not have to go under the Boise River to serve these parcels -Meridian can serve this
area more efficiently). NOTE.• The City of Meridian has sent a letter to the City of Eagle that
requests they too amend their comprehensive plan by removing the subject area.
Commission Recommendation: Approval at their February 19, 2009 public hearing.
Summary of Commission Public Hearing:
v. In favor: City of Meridian Planning Department
vi. In opposition: None
vii. Commenting: Jerry Timmons
viii. Written testimony: James Wylie
Key Issue(s) of Discussion by Commission: None
Key Commission Change(s) to Staff Recommendation: None
Outstanding Issue(s) for City Council: None known
Written Testimony since P&Z Meeting: None

Projects: 1) Mixed Use-Non-Residential Tezt Amendment (CPA-08-013) &
2) SH 69 and Amity Map Amendment (CPA-08-014)
Please open un both of these public hearing items at the same time but action should be
taken individually, CPA-08-013 being first.
Application: 1) Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment (CPA) to re-name the Mixed Use-Waste
Water Treatment Plant (MU-WWTP) land use designation to Mixed Use Non-Residential and
add a purpose statement, revised standards and sample land uses appropriate in this designation.
2) Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment (CPA) to change the land use designation on
approximately 211 acres owned by 8 separate owners from Low Density Residential, Medium
Density Residential and Mixed Use -Regional to all be designated Mixed Use - Non-
Residential (pending approval of CPA-08-013).
Location: This Text amendment will apply to properties throughout the Area of City Impact
where residential development is deemed to not be appropriate. The first area to carry this
designation will be around the WWTP. The subject areas associated with the Map amendment
are located at or near the northeast corner and southeast corner of W. Amity Road and SH 69;
these properties are the second group to carry the new designation.
Highlights of Proposal: The current land use designation of Mixed Use-WWTP, is the only
mixed use designation that does not allow new residential and is only being used for the area
surrounding the wastewater plant. The proposed change would provide a more flexible land use
designation that restricts new residential uses from other areas in the Area of Impact that may
also not be suitable or compatible for residential development. If approved, the Mixed Use -
Non-Residential designation will replace the Mixed Use-Waste Water Treatment Plant
designation and association text.
The intent of the text change is to develop a more versatile land use designation that can be used
city-wide, not just near the waste water treatment plant, and identify areas where light industry,
professional office and other non-residential uses are suitable and where prohibiting residential
uses is appropriate based on compatibility with existing and planned uses. Staff believes the area
in the Map amendment application is one of those areas suitable for a Mixed Use - Non-
Residential land use designation due to the current operations occurring and the anticipated
nature of redevelopment. No zoning or development is proposed with the subject applications.
Commission Recommendation: Approval
Summary of Commission Public Hearings:
i. In favor: Tuck Ewing, Vic Conrad
ii. In opposition: None
iii. Commenting: None
iv. Written testimony: As requested at the hearing Mr. Conrad's comments have been
included as part of the record for both CPA-08-014 and CPA-08-013.
Key Issue(s) of Discussion by Commission:
CPA-08-013 (Text); None
CPA-08-014 (Map); None
Key Commission Change(s) to Staff Recommendation:
3/24/2009
CPA-08-013 (Text): Further discussions with the stake holders in the area after application
submittal, led staff to further define the Mixed Use -Non-Residential designation in the text of
the comprehensive plan (initially staff was just proposing a change in name only.) The
Commission incorporated the revised text of the Mixed Use -Non-Residential land use
designation as part of their motion. The revised text has been updated in the staff report.
CPA-08-014 (Map): No changes were made to staff s recommendation; the Commission
included additional Teco One property (approximately 5 acres) located in the southeast corner of
the proposed land use boundary to be included as part of the requested Map change. During the
P&Z Commission hearing Tuck Ewing testified in favor of this change.
Written comments: Staff received both written and verbal comments from Vic Conrad, J.R.
Simplot Company about changing Simplot's land use designation; no additional comments have
been received since the P&Z Commission hearing. Staff has also received written comments
from ITD expressing concern about potential commercial uses along the highway frontage and
the need for a backage road and limiting access point to the mile and half-mile marks with future
development.
