Is the use a conditional use in the zone?:

True

Explain the relationship of the proposed used to the Comprehensive Plan.:

The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map calls for the Marina to be part of a Lakefront Recreation District and specifically references a potential public boardwalk. Map 5.6 in the Plan (“Likelihood of Change”) places the Marina property in the “Least Likely to Change” category.

Explain how the application meets the general and specific objects of Title 3.:

The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map calls for the Marina to be part of a Lakefront Recreation District and specifically references a potential public boardwalk. Map 5.6 in the Plan (“Likelihood of Change”) places the Marina property in the “Least Likely to Change” category.

How is the proposed use harmonious with the character of the existing neighborhood?:

The upland property which adjoins the Marina is currently zoned CBD and the adjoining lakefront property is zoned Civic. The future land use for the area which includes the Marina is a Lakefront Recreation District. The existing land use will not change, nor does the Project involve any expansion of the food and beverage and dining or fuel sales components of the Marina operations. The only additional noise which might be created by the Project would be the noise associated with the public’s use of the Floating Boardwalk. The City Parks and Recreation Department will assume responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Floating Boardwalk. It is anticipated that it will be closed during non-daylight hours. The current plan is to not provide tie downs for moorage on the outside of the Breakwater, thereby maximizing the pedestrian use and enjoyment of the Boardwalk. Polling of the persons on the waiting list for slips at the Marina suggests that the overwhelming majority of persons on the list already own a boat and already designate Payette Lake as their principal place of use of their boat. Therefore, it is anticipated that the availability of additional Marina slips will reduce the current use of, and congestion at, the City boat ramps, and the associated demand for boat trailer parking in the upland parking lot and on upland streets, but will not appreciably increase the number of boats using the Lake at any given time.

How is the proposed use harmonious with the appearance of the existing neighborhood?:

See above

How will the proposed use NOT be detrimental to the general welfare, health, and safety of the neighborhood?:

See above

How will the proposed use NOT harm the land or water of the subject property and adjacent properties?:

The Breakwater’s epoxy coated steel construction and float pipes provide exceptional stiffness, stability, and durability and have proven imperviousness to moisture penetration and freezing; eliminating potential related spalling and degradation of materials. The Amerlock 2 Epoxy Coating is approved for use in potable water systems. The epoxy coated floatation has no interior foam filling, thus eliminating the potential release of plastics/foams into the environment. All dock decking will be an environmentally sound wood/plastic marine-grade composite board material. Some treated wood is utilized in the dock construction as a heavy-duty fendering material installed above the water-line and treated with a process (Micro-Pro Sienna) that is approved for playground and other environmentally sensitive applications. Concrete block anchors will be installed on the lake bottom at low water utilizing an appropriate winch barge in a manner that results in minor, if any, disturbance of the lake bottom upon placement. Concrete material has proven to have no effect on water quality. Stainless steel cables will be utilized to connect all anchor winch systems on the docks to the concrete anchors and have proven to have no effect on water quality. Delivery and installation of the docks will be done in a manner that minimizes and/or eliminates potential shoreline disturbance. Prefabricated dock sections ( approx. 10’x55’) will be delivered and off-loaded at the launch ramp parking area adjacent to the Marina and then placed into the water at the launch ramp and moved off-shore for final connection and assembly of the dock system. Dock sections will be anchored in-place as the final assembly procedure progresses. An ADA compliant concrete approach will be poured-in-place on the shoreline above the high-water level to serve as connection for the marine-grade aluminum gangway ramp access to the floating docks. The preliminary plans for this approach are attached as Attachment 10. Any and all other dock construction materials, including vinyl dock fendering, stainless steel bolt connections, rubber connection bumpers, galvanized steel dock cleats and bolts, will all be installed above the dock waterline and will have no effect on lake water quality. The wave attenuator system will potentially have a beneficial effect on the lake water quality as it will reduce turbidity and shoreline erosion and disturbance within its protected area and significantly reduce the potential destructive forces of severe weather events upon the Marina and adjacent areas.

What public services and facilities will serve the proposed use? Police? School? Streets? Fire? Water? Sewer? Other?:

The demand on public services will be unchanged by the Project.

How will the proposed use NOT cause unreasonable traffic, noise, glare, and other forms of pollution?:

See above

How will the proposed use NOT adversely affect the pedestrian environment?:

See above

How will the proposed use NOT be a detriment to traffic on surrounding streets?:

See above

How will the proposed use NOT affect scenic features?:

See above

How will the propose use NOT affect historic features?:

See above

Explain how the subject property is of sufficient size to accommodate the proposed use.:

The Breakwater and additional slips will be placed on and over the submerged lands of the State of Idaho, which has already issued a Permit for the Project.

Explain how the proposed use will NOT have a negative economic impact on the surrounding neighborhood or community?:

City revenue will be increased. The addition of boat slips will otherwise not have any economic impact on the neighborhood or community. The potential additional public use of the Boardwalk is wholly consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s vision for the lakefront area.

What is the relationship of the proposed use to the surrounding properties?:
