Residential focusing on the bench area north of Chinden with lot sizes in the'/2-1 acres size, ensuring compatibility with Spur Wing Country Club to the east. Access: Limited access to Highway 16 & 20/26. Internal circulation road serving the entire area with appropriate building setbacks from future right of ways to mitigate noise issues. Site access should be limited to right in/right out with 1 mile access point east of the Black Cat and Chinden intersection. Issues: Concerns about sizing and location at the intersection of Chinden and Hwy.16 ext. This area would have some natural draw to commercial but would want to limit the impacts to the regional roadway network. One section of the property requested to be designated as mixed use is located west of Black Cat Road. Due to its size, location and the Hwy 16 extension this parcel may request a commercial designation. Old Valley Road Mixed Use Area 227 Acres Uses: Retail, Light Commercial, office and residential. Uses in this area should focus on services and trip capturing uses. Design: The design of this area should capitalize on the existing Old Valley Road and bring activity and uses to the road creating a pedestrian friendly area that encourages walking as well as services auto traffic. The area should include street trees, benches and sidewalks. Common parking areas to the sides of buildings would be advised with joint parking agreements so the buildings minimize walking distance and give an "old town" feel to the area. On street parking should be encouraged where sufficient right of way is available. Residential uses, such as row houses, town homes or patio homes, should be used to buffer this area to residential areas to the north and south. Signage should be done as a master sign oppose to individual signs located along Hwy 44/State Street. Access: Access should be limited to Old Valley Road, no direct access from State Street/ Hwy. 44. Area to the North of Hwy 44 should require the construction of a mirror road to Old Valley Road that removes individual property access to Hwy 44. Cross access agreements should be encourages through out the area for service roads. Issues: If individual lot access is allowed to Hwy 44 the area will loses its ability to function as a mixed use node encouraging both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The city may want to establish a phasing criteria for the north and south portion to ensure that they area not over saturating the market before the supporting residential development occurs. Moon Valley Road Mixed Use Area 130 Acres Uses: Retail, Light Commercial, and office. Uses in this area should focus on services and trip capturing uses.

Issues: If individual lot access is allowed to Hwy 44 the area will loses its ability to function as a mixed use node encouraging both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Scale is important to this area with the existing residential uses. The entire area should be mater planned and buffering should be required for areas that remain residential. Careful consideration should be made before allowing uses that might strip out the frontage along Hwy. 44/ State Street. Commercial Area 344 Acres Uses: Commercial. This area is intended to provide community commercial uses. This area will provide services to the immediate Eagle area, Star, southern Gem County and Eastern Canyon County.

Design: This area should be designed to be internally focused bringing trips from Hwy 16 and Hwy 44 into the area from a1/2 mile ring/loop road. The design should provide interconnectivity of roadways and consistency of architectural design. Parking should be cooperative when possible but on -street parking should be avoided along the loop road. Signage should be regulated to ensure that the hwy rights of ways are not cluttered with individual pole and monument signs. Landscape berms should be required along the loop road to provide a transition to the residential uses to the north and east. The intersection of Hwy 44 (State Street) and Hwy 16 should be identified as a gateway to Eagle with appropriate monuments and landscape designs. Access: Access to the area should be limited to a loop road accessing Hwy 161h mile north of State Street and accessing State Street 1/2 east of Hwy 16, existing Palmer Lane. Individual lot access within the commercial area should be limited to local roads not the loop roads.

Mixed Use Village: The mixed use Village is 688 acres bounded roughly by Beacon Light Road to the north, Floating Feather to the south, Palmer Lane to the west and Lanewood Road to the east. This area will include three key components 1) a village center- providing retail commercial, hospitability and civic uses; 2) a business/corporate park area which is design to provide sufficient space for corporate headquarters in a park like setting near ancillary commercial uses in the village center; 3) Hospitality/Office area that provides lodging for cooperate training needs, restaurants and small office uses. Residential Areas: Areas within close proximity of the village center shall be encourage to include apartments, town homes, condominiums, patio homes, bungalows and live/work units ranging in densities from 5 to 20 units per acre. Decreasing densities should be allowed as the area radiates out of the village center. Lot sizing and compatibility will paramount as residential development reaches the existing 5 and 2 acres lot areas east of Linder Road and north of Floating Feather Road. Residential uses in the area located 1/2 mile north of Beacon Light and south of Homer Road shall be encouraged to cluster building lots and provide open space areas. Densities in the Planned Community shall range from 1 to 4 units per acres. Access: The Planned Community area will promote the construction of an east/west collector road that will have a boulevard design including planted medians, side walks and limited signalization. This roads design shall be similar to Harrison Boulevard and Park Center Boulevard in Boise. This area will also include the extension of Homer Road from Linder Road to the village center and the realignment of Beacon Light Road to slow the flow of through traffic from Hwy 16 to Hwy 55. The planned community area will be dependent of local road and interconnectivity as the area develops. Access to the area from Hwy 16 should be limited to the mile in alignment with Beacon Light Road and Floating Feather Roads. Commercial uses should be discouraged from fronting on Hwy 16 at these access points and directed to the commercial center at Hwy 16 & 44 or to the mixed use village. Construction of frontage roads by ITD along the eastern side of Hwy 16 should be discouraged and landscape berms should be used to continue a gateway feeling to the city along the eastern side of Hwy 16.
