2. The Council reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of the proposed design review in terms of
Eagle City Code 8-2A-13, "General Standards For Design Review" and has concluded that the
proposed design review:
A. Will function in conformance with the applicable strategies of the Eagle Comprehensive Plan and
is in accordance with the regulations of this code since there are no inconsistencies with the
comprehensive plan and a multi-tenant office/retail/restaurant building is permitted with the
approval of a design review application within the MU-DA (Mixed Use with a development
agreement);
B. Is of a scale, intensity, and character that is in harmony with existing conforming and planned
development in the vicinity of the site since the proposed multi-tenant office/retail/restaurant
building is design with materials and colors associated with the"Northwestern"style of architecture
approved within the development agreement;
C. Is designed with adequate off street parking facilities in such a way as to not interfere with
ingress/egress to the site and will serve the intended use so as to not cause conflict with adjacent
uses as anticipated within the zoning district since the site has parking on-site to meet the required
parking for a multi-tenant office/retail/restaurant building;
D. Will not interfere with the visual character,quality,or appearance of the surrounding area and city,
and where possible,enhance the continuity of thematically common architectural features since the
proposed building has been designed with quality materials that are consistent with the
"Northwestern" style of architecture approved within the development agreement;

building is in conformance with the "Northwestern" style of architecture approved within the
development agreement and has been designed to complement the buildings in the vicinity;

considerations since the proposed building is in conformance with the required setbacks and height
restrictions;

patterned traffic circulation and connectivity to abutting development since the site has been
designed with sidewalks and walkways for both walkability within the site and access to future
buildings within the Stillwater development;
H. Is in the interest of public health, safety, and general welfare promoting a pedestrian friendly and
walkable environment in balance with protecting a viable commercial center in the area since there
are sidewalks and walkways that connect to future buildings; and

been submitted for the master sign plan for the building and all signs will be required to be
harmonious with the architectural design of the building and will not cover nor detract from
desirable architectural features. All signs, if proposed, will be required to be harmonious with the
