J. GENERAL SITE DESIGN FEATURES:
Number and Uses of Proposed Buildings:
Two (2) multi-tenant office buildings and one (l) future building pad site.
Height and Number of Stories of Proposed Buildings:
Multi-Tenant Office Building A = 24 feet - 6 inches (one story)
Multi-Tenant Office Building B = 26 feet (one and a half story)
Gross Floor Area of Proposed Buildings:
Multi-Tenant Office Building A
First Floor =
Multi-Tenant Office Building B
First Floor =
Second Floor =
Total =
6,708-square feet
3,720-square feet
. 1.61 O-square feet
12,038-square feet
Site Area of Proposed Building Pad:
Total pad site = 4,500-square feet
On and Off-Site Circulation:
Access to the site comes from a shared driveway with the property to the west of the subject
site. A 29,221-square foot (approximately) paved driveway/parking lot provides circulation
and parking for vehicles using this site. Inland Subdivision No. I indicates all lots have a
blanket reciprocal cross-access easement that provides access between the two (2) lots within
the subdivision and to the parcels contiguous to the east and west boundaries of the
subdivision. The applicant has lined up two (2) parking lot driveway isles with the property to
the west and one (1) with the property to the east which allows easy circulation between the
subject site and two adjacent parcels.
Parking Calculations:
The site will be used for professional and business offices which require I parking space per
250 square feet of gross floor area. Using this requirement the two proposed buildings and the
future pad site would need to provide 66.15-parking spaces or 67 -parking spaces. The
applicant's site plan indicates 67-parking spaces, but Staff believes one parking space located
at the southeast comer of the building pad does not have enough back up room due to the
angle of the adjacent curb. The future building pad should be reduced to 4,460-square feet
which will bring down the total parking requirement for the site to 65.99 or 66-parking spaces.
Building A (6,708 square feet) = 26.83-parking spaces
Building B (5,330 square feet) = 21.32-parking spaces
Future Pad (4,500 square feet) = 18.00-parking spaces
66. IS-parking spaces
The City Eagle Code allows a maximum of thirty percent (30%) of the total spaces provided to
be used as compact spaces. The applicant is proposing five (5) compact parking spaces, which
is less than 10% of the total spaces provided.
Bike Parking:
The applicant has provided bike racks between Building A and the east property line along the
pedestrian connection leading to the bike pathway. The bike rack will need a minimum of
three bike parking spaces to meet Eagle City Code requirements.

STAFF ANALYSIS:
A. COMPREHENSNE PLAN PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING
THIS PROPOSAL:
. The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates this site as Mixed Use.
B. ZONING CODE PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS
PROPOSAL:
. Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-6(A)(5)
Utilities: Utility service systems shall not detract from building or site design. Cable, electrical,
and telephone service systems shall be installed underground.
. Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(C)(2)

feet of street frontage.
. Eagle City Code Section 8-4-5
Offices, Business and Professional
1 per 250 square feet of gross floor area
C. DISCUSSION:
. The applicant seeks approval of one 6,708-square foot multi-tenant office building, in one 5,330-
square foot multi-tenant office building, and common area landscaping around a future building
pad site. The future building pad located along the north property line will be required to obtain
Design Review Board approval in a future application. Access to the site comes from one shared
driveway, used with the existing building to the west, off of Iron Eagle Drive. To foster better
circulation in the area, the applicant has provided connections between the subject site and
Page 6 of 12
K.Wlanning Dept\Eagle App1icalions\Dr\1006\DR-47-06 drf doc
properties east and west through the parking lot of this site. One building is located along the
south property line, the other in the middle portion, and the future building pad along the north
property line of the site. Parking has been calculated and provided on the site for the two
buildings and the future building pad site. Pedestrian connections have been made between the
two buildings and to the future pad site as well as to the sidewalk along East Iron Eagle Drive and
the bike path along State Highway 44. The connections through the parking lots are defined with
painted strips.
. The applicant has applied the architectural style of Craftsman to both of the proposed buildings
which exemplifies a bungalow style with vertical wood siding gables using beamslbrackets over
the entrances and mid-fayade windows. Other characteristics include low-pitched roofs, two foot
(2') overhang eaves with exposed rafters, tapered columns supporting the gables, and four (4) over
one (1) sash windows. Materials used include cultured stone at the base of the building/columns,
cultured stone along the comers of the building, vertical hardiboard siding in the gables, and
stucco. The applicant has attempted to break up the stucco through two foot (2') fayade changes at
the entrances, changes in material, building columns, and two inch (2") plane changes around the
windows. Architectural accents include wood trim work formed wood dentils, and wood tapered
columns.
. The site will be used for professional and business offices which require 1 parking space per 250
square feet of gross floor area. Using this requirement the two proposed buildings and the future
pad site would need 66.15-parking spaces or 67 -parking spaces. The applicant's site plan
indicates 67 parking spaces, but Staff believes one parking space located at the southeast comer of
the building pad does not have enough back up room due to the angle of the adjacent curb. Staff
encourages the Design Review Board to review the functionality of that parking space. If the
Design Review Board does not think the space is functional, the applicant would need to reduce
the future building pad site to a maximum of 4,460-square feet instead of the proposed 4,500-
square feet to bring the parking requirement down to 66-parking spaces.
. The applicant is proposing one 120-square foot trash enclosure which will also used to screen the
mechanical units for Building A. The plans indicate that the trash/mechanical enclosure will be
constructed out of masonry block which does not compliment the two proposed buildings. The
applicant should provide revised elevation plans showing the trash enclosure to be constructed of
materials and colors that compliment those used in the construction of the two proposed buildings.
The revised 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.
. The mechanical units for Building A are located along the east elevation behind a four foot (4')
high screen wall. The plans do not include any elevations showing the construction materials of
the screen wall. The applicant should provide elevation plans showing the specific materials and
colors to be used in the construction of the four foot (4') high screen wall which should
compliment those used in the construction of the building. The revised 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.
. Building B does not include any landscaping around the base of the structure which would help
ground the building and soften the base of the building. It is staffs opinion that the applicant
should provide a revised landscape plan showing landscape planters along the base of the north,
south, east, and west elevations of the Building B. The north side of Building A also does not
have any landscaping at the base. It is staffs opinion that the applicant should also show
landscape planters along the north elevations of the Building A. The revised landscape plans
should be reviewed and approved by staff and two members of the Design Review Board prior to
the City issuing a zoning certificate for this site.
