A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING
THIS PROPOSAL:
· The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates this site as Commercial.
· 6.3.19 Scenic Corridor
An Overlay designation that is intended to provide significant setbacks from major corridors
and natural features through the city. These areas may require berming, enhanced
landscaping, detached meandering pathways and appropriate signage controls.
This designation includes the Willow Creek Scenic Corridor that is to provide increase
setbacks and buffering of development including natural vegetation and restoration, regional
trail and connectivity.
· 6.6
Land Use Implementation Strategies
a. Signage for non-residential uses should be incorporated as a master sign plan rather than
individual signs when located along State Highways and entry corridors.

Recordable provisions for the perpetual location and maintenance of the entry sign shall be
provided to Eagle. Such provisions shall be reviewed and approved by the City Attorney prior
to recordation. Such provisions shall be recorded prior to the issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy.
C. ZONING CODE PROVISIONS wmCH 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

properties, neighborhoods, or streets.
Page 3 of 12
K:lPlanning DeptlEagle ApplicationslDr\2009IDR-14_09 EIMP MSP drfdoc
· 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(C)(5)(e)
A "shopping center", as defined in section 8-1-2 of this title shall be allowed one monument
sign per street that it abuts, to identify the shopping center. If the shopping center has a single
address, the address shall be located on the monument sign and shall be a size that is readable
from the street. The height of any such sign, including the base to which it is attached, shall
not exceed fifteen feet (15'). The surface area of any such sign shall not exceed one hundred
(100) square feet per exposed surface, including any reader board sign or surface.
Any freestanding single tenant building within a shopping center shall be permitted a
monument sign. The height of any such sign, including the base to which it is attached, shall
not exceed six feet (6'). The exposed surface of any such sign shall not exceed thirty (30)
square feet per exposed surface.
A double faced monument sign is permitted.
The minimum distance between any monument sign within a shopping center shall be one
hundred feet (100'). No monument sign shall be any closer than twenty feet (20') from a
monument or other freestanding sign on an adjacent property.
· 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.
D. DISCUSSION:
· The applicant is requesting approval of the master sign plan for Eagle Island Marketplace located
at the northeast corner of Chinden Boulevard and Linder Road. The applicant is requesting
approval of one entry feature to be located at the intersection of Chin den Boulevard and Linder
Road, four large multi-tenant monument signs, and ten small single/multi-tenant monument signs.
The applicant is also requesting approval of signage criteria for all future buildings proposed
within this development.
· The entry feature proposed to be located at the intersection of Chinden Boulevard and Linder Road
shows the "Eagle Island Marketplace" portion of the sign to be approximately 28-square feet. An
approximately 9-square foot "Welcome to Eagle" sign is proposed to be located below the "Eagle
Page 4 of 12
K:lPlanning DeptlEagle ApplicationslDr\2009IDR_14_09 EIMP MSP drfdoc
Island Marketplace" signage. Per the pre annexation and development agreement for this site, the
entry feature is to be designed with features and elements that promote and continue the identity
and character established by other entry features located within Eagle. The specific design of the
entry feature shall be reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board and the Eagle City
Council prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate. The entry feature shall be installed prior to
the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for any building within the development. Upon
completion, ownership of the entry sign shall be conveyed to Eagle. Recordable provisions for the
perpetual location and maintenance of the entry sign shall be provided to Eagle. Such provisions
shall be reviewed and approved by the City Attorney prior to recordation. Such provisions shall be
recorded prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
While the proposed entry feature signs is a nice looking sign, it is staff's opinion that the design of
the sign and the size of the "Welcome to Eagle" do not reflect that which the City of Eagle was
expecting to see at this entrance into the City of Eagle. The applicant should be required to
provide revised elevation plans showing the "Welcome to Eagle" to be the more dominant signage
on this entry feature. The revised elevation plans should be reviewed and approved by the Design
Review Board prior to the City issuing a zoning certificate for this site.
Staff defers comment regarding the "Eagle Island Marketplace" signage and if it should be
included on a City of Eagle entry feature that per the development agreement the City is to
maintain.
· The applicant is requesting approval of four large multi-tenant monument signs; two on Chinden
Boulevard and two on Linder Road. Per Eagle City Code, the applicant is permitted one IS-foot
high monument sign to be located on Chinden Boulevard and one IS-foot high monument sign to
be located on Linder Road. The applicant should be required to provide a revised site plan
showing where the IS-foot high monument sign will be located on Chinden Boulevard and where
the IS-foot high monument sign will be located on Linder Road. The revised site plan should be
reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board prior to the City issuing zoning certificate for
this site.
Staff defers comment regarding the design of the IS-foot high monument signs to the Design
Review Board.
· The applicant is requesting approval to install ten sma1l6-foot high single/multi-tenant monument
signs to be located along Chinden Boulevard and Linder Road. Per the site plan associated with
this development it would appear that all but one of the buildings to be located adjacent to
Chinden Boulevard and Linder Road are to be multi-tenant buildings. While staff recognizes that
one tenant could occupy an entire building and that Eagle City Code permits a single tenant
building to have a monument sign, staff does not consider allowing a multitude of signs along
Chinden Boulevard or Linder Road in keeping with the comprehensive plan for the City of Eagle.
The comprehensive plan classifies Chinden Boulevard (State Highway 20/26) as a scenic corridor
and requires berming, enhanced landscaping, detached meandering pathways and appropriate
signage controls. Proposing a total of fourteen monument signs (not including the entry feature at
the intersection) along Chinden Boulevard and Linder Road is not signage control. Staff
recommends that only two of the 6- foot high monument signs be located along the frontage of this
development. The applicant should be required to provide a revised site plan showing where the
6-foot high monument sign will be located on Chinden Boulevard and where the 6-foot high
monument sign will be located on Linder Road. The revised site plan should be reviewed and
approved by the Design Review Board prior to the City issuing zoning certificate for this site.
Staff defers comment with regard to the design of the 6-foot high monument sign and if these signs
should be multi-tenant to the Design Review Board.

· The applicant is requesting approval of master sign plan criteria for the ten buildings proposed
within DR-13-09 and for all future buildings proposed within Eagle Island Marketplace. While
staff can appreciate the applicant wanting to reduce the number of applications staff has to
complete in the future, staff sees a few issues with a "canned" master sign plan for the entire
development. While we can hope that we have addressed any and all possibilities for the signage
of all future tenants to be located within the buildings we have or have yet to see the architectural
features or elevations of, it is inevitable that the one possibility that comes up will not be addressed
in the criteria. If that is the case and the developer is willing to consider other options, not written
in the existing criteria, the entire master sign plan for Eagle Island Marketplace will need to be
modified to accommodate this change.
Just because a certain type of sign is permitted in the master sign plan does not guarantee that all
those signs would be appropriate on every building. The City has set a policy that when a design
review application is submitted for a commercial building, a design review sign application is
submitted at the same time. In the past the building was approved months prior to anyone thinking
about submitting a design review application for signage. By the time the sign application came
through for approval everyone had forgotten the specific materials used in the construction of the
building or if there was even areas to consider for signage. Usually by this time the building was
being constructed and making modifications to the building to allow for signage areas was
expensive or to change out the materials to allow for signs was impracticable. Allowing the Board
to review both the building and signage applications at the same time has reduced several of the
issues noted above and has provided a more unified product in the end. Staff believes this is
because signage placement, style, electrical, lighting, size, etc. have all been considered while the
building is still in the design stages of the process.
It is staffs opinion that the master sign plan criteria for Eagle Island Marketplace needs to remain
more general but tie up a few things such as the type, size, color, font, or if logos would be
permitted on the monument signs. With that said, staff has modified the master sign plan criteria
for the Eagle Island Marketplace, text shown with underline has been added by staff and text
shown with strike thru has been deleted by staff
