STAFF ANALYSIS PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT:
A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING
THIS PROPOSAL:
Protect and enhance the small town character of the City by requiring signage which is creative
and distinctive, compatible with its surroundings, and an integral component of the style and
character of the building to which it relates.
B. ZONING CODE PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS
PROPOSAL:
.
.
Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-2(B)
The general theme of the Design Review Overlay District is to specify desirable building and
landscape architectural styles and materials to create a sustainable and pleasing environment
for residents and visitors alike. The architectural designs, materials, and graphics set forth in
this article are complied to create a theme unique to the area called "Eagle Architecture".
.
Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-6(A)(4)
Signage for any project shall provide for business identification and minimize clutter and
confusion on and off the site.
.
Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-6(A)(4)(c)
Signs are to provide effective and necessary business identification systems adapted to the
building design.
.
Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-6(A)(4)(e)
The size, location, design, color, texture, lighting, landscaping, and hours of operations of all
permanent signs and outdoor advertising structures or features to insure that any such
proposals do not detract from the function of, or design of, buildings, structures, surrounding
properties, neighborhoods, or streets.

.
Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-8(C)(1)
Sign materials and overall appearance shall compliment the building architecture and colors as
determined by the Design Review Board.
Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-8(K)(1)
.
No signs shall be erected or maintained in any district as established by the Zoning Ordinance
except those signs specifically enumerated in this Chapter. The number and area of signs as
outlined in this Chapter are intended to be maximum standards which do not necessarily
ensure architectural compatibility. Therefore, in addition to the enumerated standards,
consideration shall be given to a sign's relationship to the overall appearance of the subject
property as well as the surrounding community. Compatible design, simplicity and sign
effectiveness are to be used in establishing guidelines for sign approval.
C. DISCUSSION:
.
The applicant is proposing to remove the existing "Jackson's Texaco" building wall sign and
replace it with a "Jackson's" building wall sign. The size of the sign will remain the same, only
the colors and wording are proposed to change. The size of this sign complies with Eagle City
Code.
.
The applicant is proposing to reface the two monument signs, one monument sign is located on
West State Street and the other monument sign is located on Eagle Road. The "Texaco" symbol is
proposed to be removed and replaced with the "Shell" symbol on a white background, the
"Jackson's Food Stores" is proposed to be removed and replaced with "Jackson's", and the black
behind the fuel prices is to be replaced with yellow vinyl rectangles. The applicant should be
required to provide revised elevation plans showing the background color of the entire monument
signs to be grey with the yellow and red Shell symbol; the red, white, and grey "Jackson's"
wording; and the fuel prices all to be applied to the grey background. The revised elevation plans
should be reviewed and approved by staff prior to the City issuing a zoning certificate for this site.
The applicant has indicated on the elevation plan date stamped by the City on March 1, 2004, that
the building wall sign is to be internally illuminated. Per Eagle City Code, internally illuminated
signs are not permitted. The applicant should be required to provide a revised elevation plan
indicating that the building wall sign is not internally illuminated. The revised elevation plan
should be reviewed and approved by staff prior to the City issuing a zoning certificate for this site.
