C. DISCUSSION:
. There is an existing 5I,794-square foot Albertson's grocery store and a 429-square foot
Albertson's Express fuel island with associated parking and landscaping located on this site, all of
which is located within the CEDA (Community Entry Development Area). The applicant is
proposing to construct an 866-square foot building addition to the Albertson's building. The
actual footprint of the building will not increase because the addition will be located under the
existing canopy overhang on the west building elevation. The arched canopy openings will have
storefront windows, doors and masonry wainscoting installed within them to create an enclosed
area for the new Starbucks Coffee Shop. The applicant is also proposing to replace the blue
awnings and paint the fluted concrete located around the awnings. Because the fuel island
building and canopy match the color of the fluted concrete on the building, the applicant is also
going to paint the fuel island building and canopy to match the new color used on the building.
There are several code sections that this site does not comply with (i.e.: building height, building
setbacks, parking adjacent to Eagle Road, width of sidewalks, street lights along East Plaza Drive
and 2nd Street, screening the trash compactor, the required number of interior landscape islands
within the parking lot, etc.). This site is located within the CEDA, which requires a maximum
building height of 35', at least 70% of the ground level, street facing facades to abut and be
oriented to a public sidewalk or plaza, on-site parking along Eagle Road is not permitted,
installation of historic street lights along East Plaza Drive and 2nd Street, and 8' wide sidewalks
with a 10' wide landscape strip between the sidewalk and curb. Staff defers comment regarding
the above mentioned requirements to the Design Review Board.
. The landscape plan date stamped by the City on April 6, 2006, shows the landscaping on this site
as it exists today. Per Eagle City Code, a landscape strip is required when a parking lot is located
adjacent to a public right-of-way. There is no shrub plant material between the parking lot and
Eagle Road, East Plaza Drive, or 2nd Street. There is an earth berm that screens the parked cars
from passing motorists and pedestrians on Eagle Road but not on East Plaza Drive. It is staffs
opinion that the applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan showing the
parking lot adjacent to East Plaza Drive and a portion of 2nd Street screened per Eagle City Code
Section 8-2A-7(K)(2)(a-d). The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff
and one member of the Design Review Board prior to the City issuing a zoning certificate for this
site.
. There are several landscape islands within the parking lot that do not have a deciduous tree located
within them. Per Eagle City Code, a terminal island for a double row of parking spaces shall
contain not less than two (2) trees and shrubs, ground cover, or grass. The applicant should be
required to provide a revised landscape plan showing a total of eight (8) additional 3" deciduous
trees planted in the three landscape islands located along the main drive aisle adjacent to the west
side of the building, the landscape island located on the north side of the main drive aisle near the
main entrance off of Eagle Road, and the southern landscape island located on the east side of the
drive aisle near the southwest comer of the fuel island canopy. The revised landscape plan should
be reviewed and approved by staff and one member of the Design Review Board prior to the City
issuing a zoning certificate for this site.
. Per Eagle City Code, the landscape islands located within the parking lot are required to have
ground covers, low shrubs, or grass planted within them. It is staff's opinion that several of the
landscape islands need additional plant material planted within them to provide a consistent look
Page 9 of 15
K:\Planning Ot:pt\Eagle Applications\Dr\2006\DR-36-06 dlf.ooc
throughout the parking. The applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan
showing additional shrub material planted within the landscape islands that have had plant
material removed from them so as to create a consistent look throughout the parking lot. The
revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff and one member of the Design
Review Board prior to the City issuing a zoning certificate for this site.
. There are a few areas within the parking lot that need an interior landscape island, so as to comply
with Eagle City Code which states no parking space shall be more than 60' from an interior
landscaped area. The I7-parking spaces located adjacent to Eagle Road near the northwest comer
of the site, the IS-parking spaces located adjacent to East Plaza Drive located between the two
driveways on East Plaza Drive, as well as the I7-parking spaces located adjacent to the north
building elevation all need an interior landscape island to be constructed within them to meet
Eagle City Code. The applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan showing a
landscape island planted with deciduous trees and ground covers or low shrubs to be located
within I7-parking spaces located adjacent to Eagle Road near the northwest comer of the site, the
IS-parking spaces located adjacent to East Plaza Drive located between the two driveways on East
Plaza Drive, as well as the 17 -parking spaces located adjacent to the north building elevation. The
revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff and one member of the Design
Review Board prior to the City issuing a zoning certificate for this site.
. There are several historic lights along Eagle Road and two historic lights located on each side of
the western entrance on East Plaza Drive. Per Eagle City Code, historic streetlights are to be
located a maximum distance of 150' apart within the CEDA. The applicant should be required to
provide a revised lighting plan showing three additional historic lights on East Plaza Drive and
two historic lights on 2nd Street. The revised lighting plan should be reviewed and approved by
staff prior to the City issuing a zoning certificate for this site.
. The applicant is proposing to remove all non compliant site and building lighting from this site.
Currently the parking lot lights exceed 25' which is permitted for parking lot with 200 or more
parking spaces. The applicant is proposing to use a 22 V2' high pole located on a 2 W high
concrete base. The light fixture will be 250-watthigh pressure sodium luminaries. The applicant
indicates that the existing wall pack light fixtures located on the north and east building elevations
are to be replaced; however, a detailed cut sheet showing what style, color, wattage, and type of
luminaries are to be used have not been submitted to the City for review. The applicant should be
required to provide a detailed cut sheet of the light fixtures proposed to be used on the north and
east building elevations showing the style, color, wattage, and type of luminaries. The detailed cut
sheets should be reviewed and approved by staff prior to the City issuing a zoning certificate for
this site.
. A trash compactor and small storage shed are located on the east side of the building that are
visible from intersection of East Plaza Drive and 2nd Street. Per Eagle City Code, all trash and/or
garbage collection areas for commercial uses are to be enclosed on at least three (3) sides by a
solid wall or fence with a gate on the fourth side, or shall be within an enclosed building or
structure. The applicant should be required to provide a revised site plan and elevation plans
showing how the trash compactor and shed will be screened from view. The revised site plan and
elevation plans should be reviewed and approved by staff and one member of the Design Review
Board prior to the City issuing a zoning certificate for this site.
. Staff defers comment regarding building design and colors to the Design Review Board.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
1. The application for this item was received by the City of Eagle on April 6, 2006.
2. Requests for agencies' reviews were transmitted on April 10, 2006, in accordance with the
requirements of the Eagle City Code.
3. The Board reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed design review application
(DR-36-06) with regard to the Eagle City Code Title 8, Chapter 2, Article A, DR Design Review
Overlay District, and based upon the information provided with the conditions required herein,
concludes that the proposed design review application is in accordance with the Eagle City Code and
the Eagle Comprehensive Plan.
4. Will, in fact, constitute a permitted use as established in Eagle City Code Title 8, Chapter 2, Section 3,
for the CBD-DA (Central Business District with development agreement) zoning district.
5. The Design Review Board recognizes that there are several code sections that this site does not comply
with; however, it is the Boards opinion that the code sections that the applicant is proposing to comply
with and willing to comply with are more important then having the applicant tear out existing
improvements that don't comply with Eagle City Code (Le.: sidewalks, asphalt, landscaping). It is the
Boards opinion that it is not the intent of the City to have the applicant rebuild the building to comply
with the required setbacks or to redesign the site so no parking is adjacent to Eagle Road. The Board
recommends that the City accept the applicant's willingness to lower the parking lot light fixtures,
remove the non-conforming building lighting, provide trees within landscape islands, and provide
additional plant material within the landscape islands.
