DESCRIPTION OF APPLICANT'S REQUEST
The applicant, Shawn Christopher, requests Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZC) and
Administrative Design Review (DES) approval of a new dental office on 0.99 acres of land in
the C-G zoning district in an existing commercial building formerly occupied by Key Bank.
The site is located at 3270 N. Eagle Road.
DECISION
The applicant's request for Certificate of Zoning Compliance and Design Review is approved
with the conditions listed in this report. The applicant was required to obtain CZC and DES
approval due to exterior modifications. The submitted landscape plan is from the original
approval with Key Bank and is sufficient for this review as none of the existing landscaping
is proposed to change. The applicant has added additional parking and is therefore required
by code to add additional planter islands; the combo site-plan and landscape plan satisfies
this requirement.
Note: This is not a building permit. Please contact Building Services at (208) 887-2211 to
verify if you need a building permit and/or inspection. If you do need a building permit, you
must complete that process before you commence the use or construction. Please contact
Building Services for additional details about building permits and inspections.
