Existing Structures/Site Improvements. There are no existing structures on this site; the previous structures have been removed. Dimensional Standards: Development of the proposed lots is required to comply with the dimensional standards of the C- G zoning district in UDC Table 11-2B-3. Subdivision Design and Improvement Standards (UDC 11-6C-3): Development of the subdivision is required to comply with the subdivision design and improvement standards listed in UDC 11-6C-3. Access (UDC 11-3A-3) There are two (2) existing accesses on this site associated with the previous residential use(s) and one (1) temporary access on the abutting property to the south via N. Eagle Rd./SH-55 that are proposed to be removed and replaced with one (1) new right-in/right-out driveway access on the abutting property to the south as depicted on the plans and as shown below. Per UDC 11-3H-4, the use of existing approaches via the state highway are not allowed to continue if the intensity of the use increases. With the change in use to commercial, the intensity of the use will increase; therefore, the existing approaches are not allowed to remain and must be abandoned and removed as proposed. New approaches directly accessing a state highway are only allowed at the section line road and the half mile mark between section line roads, which does not apply in this case. City Council may consider and approve modifications to the standards in UDC 11-3H-4 upon specific recommendation of the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) or if strict adherence is not feasible, as determined by City Council. ITD issued a letter of acceptance of the revised traffic striping conceptual drawings, dated November 13, 2019, for SH-55/Eagle Rd. from River Valley St. to approximately 1,500 feet north for the proposed right-in/right-out access via Eagle Rd. The letter states the drawings address all of ITD’s safety concerns but only acknowledges the acceptance of the conceptual plan – final approval of the proposed access and associated improvements is determined once all documentation has been provided and the permit is signed. Final approval of the access has not yet been granted been ITD.
Existing Structures/Site Improvements. Map imagery depicts an old residence and accessory buildings on the southern half of the subject site; no other site improvements appear to be in place. All existing structures are proposed to be removed upon Phase 1 development. Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2): The proposed subdivision and subsequent development are required to comply with the minimum dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2D-6 for the requested TN-R zoning district. Staff has reviewed the proposed plat and it complies with these standards, including dwelling types, inclusion of parkways, and initial review of building setbacks outlined on the submitted preliminary plat. Access (UDC 11-3A-3): ACHD has not yet submitted a staff report for the subject project. Access for the project has been briefly discussed in the comprehensive plan analysis section above those comments are in conjunction with those in this analysis section. Ultimate access to the project site is from a future local street connection at the north property boundary to a future extension of W. Aviator Street on the adjacent property to the north/northeast. Additionally, future access should occur to the east via a local street connection to W. Atomic Street in the Ascent Townhome project on the east side of Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx (not part of this project area). Until Aviator Street is extended and constructed north of the subject site OR W. Atomic Street is extended, temporary access to X. Xxxxxxxx Road is required for public street access to the site. Because no other public roads are available to serve the subject site, development code permits this temporary access to Franklin. However, permanent access to Franklin Road is not desired by the City or ACHD in this location so as soon as an additional public road access is available, this access to Franklin shall be closed OR converted to an emergency-only access with Fire Department approved bollards. Staff has included a DA provision to address the timing for the closure of this access. Vehicular access for the proposed dwelling units is via driveway connections to the new local streets within the project. The local street is proposed with 5-foot detached sidewalk and 8-foot parkways strips; the street is proposed as a 33-foot wide local street within 37 feet of right-of-way and is consistent with ACHD policy. The Applicant has proposed shared driveways for the single-family attached units to minimize the number of curb cuts on the local street and has included two common...
Existing Structures/Site Improvements. No existing structures or site improvement appear to be present on the subject site. Two curb cuts exist to Franklin Road and both are proposed to be removed in lieu of the emergency access to Franklin for the proposed self-storage use. The Applicant is required to construct vertical curb, gutter, and repair any sidewalk while closing the two existing curb cuts.
