STAFF ANALYSIS PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT:
A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING

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 Ûte.
.
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)(I)
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(E)
.
The design review board must find that any illuminated sign permitted under the specific
regulations within this chapter is designed such that brightness levels are controlled to assure a
soft, subtle effective light in accordance with other city regulations intended to create and
maintain the Eagle Architecture theme. Illumination types, styles, and practices not listed
herein shall be prohibited unless otherwise deemed by the Design Review Board and City
Council to be consistent with the Eagle Architecture theme.
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.
