· Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-8(K)(I)
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.
C. DISCUSSION:
· The applicant is requesting approval of a master sign plan for the monument signs within
Castlebury West Business Park. The applicant is proposing three (3) monument signs to be
constructed along Chinden Boulevard. There is one existing subdivision monument sign
located at the northwest comer of Chinden Boulevard and Meridian Road. The applicant
never received approval from the City to construct the subdivision monument sign. Staff is
recommending that this master sign plan application include the review of the subdivision
monument sign as well as the other monument signs proposed within this application.
City staff considers the Caslebury West Business Park to be a neighborhood business park.
Unfortunately, Eagle City Code does not address neighborhood business parks when it comes
to signage. However, Eagle City Code does address signage for shopping centers. While
Castlebury Business Park is not a shopping center, staff is suggesting that this business park be
addressed as such since it is the only code that allows multi-tenant monument signage. With
that said, Eagle City Code allows a shopping center one monument sign per street that it abuts.
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. Per Eagle City Code, the
applicant would be permitted one fifteen foot (15') high monument sign on Chinden
Boulevard and one fifteen foot (15') high monument sign on Meridian Road. It would appear
it is the applicant's desire to have sign visibility along Chinden Boulevard and none along
Meridian Road, hence the three (3) monument signs proposed along Chinden Boulevard.
Pursuant to past action by the Board and Council, a shopping center abutting two streets but
only wanting sign visibility on one street was approved to have two (2) eight foot (8') high
monument signs on one street and no monument signs on the other street. It is staffs opinion
that in addition to the existing subdivision monument sign located at the northwest comer of
Chinden Boulevard and Meridian Road, that two (2) eight foot (8') high multi-tenant
monument sign be constructed along Chinden Boulevard. The applicant should be required to
provide revised sign elevations and landscape plans showing the height of the signs do not
exceed eight feet (8') and only two (2) multi-tenant monument signs along Chinden
Boulevard. The revised sign elevations and landscape plans should be reviewed and approved
by the Design Review Board prior to the City issuing a sign permit for this site.
· Staff has concerns with the design of the proposed monument signs. While the colors, stone,
and elements blend nicely, the textured/painted aluminum background and boxy look of the
signs is what concerns staff The two foot (2') deep by nine foot-six inch (9' 6") wide cabinet
that is proposed to be located on top of two stone columns is unattractive and looks unfinished.
It is staff s opinion that the subdivision monument sign located at the northwest comer of
Chinden Boulevard and Meridian Road is well designed, has character with beautiful elements
and materials that create a visually pleasing sign to look at. Staff recommends that the
applicant review the monument signs shown within the EASD Book and the existing
Page 5 of 12
K:\Planning DeptlEagle ApplicationslDr\2009IDR-19-09 Castlebury West Bus Park MSP drfdoc
subdivision monument sign to gain a better idea of what the City of Eagle is looking for with
regard to monument sign design. The applicant should be required to provide revised
elevation plans showing the design of the monument signs to reflect the character, charm,
relief, and design elements of the sign located at the northwest comer of Chinden Boulevard
and Meridian Road and the monument signs shown within the EASD Book. 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.
· The monument signs are shown to have internal white neon or LED illumination to create a
white outline around the words and logos. Per Eagle City Code, internal illumination is not
permitted. The applicant should be required to provide revised elevation plans showing the
illumination of the monument signs to be halo illuminated or a revised landscape plan showing
the monument signs illuminated by ground mounted light fixtures. Detailed cut sheets of any
proposed ground mounted light fixtures should be submitted and revised by City staff The
revised elevation plans or revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by the
Design Review Board prior to the City issuing a sign permit for this site.
· Sheet L1.0, date stamped by the City on May 14, 2009, shows the monument signs to be
located adjacent to the southern property line of the common lot adjacent to Chinden
Boulevard. Per the plat of Cas Ie bury West Business Park No. I and 2, the southern fifteen feet
(15') of the common lot is designated as a sidewalk/transit stop easement reserved for the City
of Eagle or Idaho Transportation Department. The applicant should be required to provide a
revised landscape plan showing the monument signs to be located a minimum of fifteen feet
(15') north of the southern property line. The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and
approved by staff prior to the City issuing a sign permit for this site.
· Staff recommends the following changes to the applicant's document titled "Castlebury West
Business Park Master Sign Plan" with strike thru text to be deleted and underlined text to be
added so as to be in compliance with Eagle City Code

and legal restrictions in force at the time the applicant or its successors in interest advises the City of

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
1. The application for this item was received by the City of Eagle on May 14, 2009.
2. The Board reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed design review application
(DR-19-09) 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.
It is the Board's opinion that the use of "Push Through" letters meets the intent of halo illumination
defined in Eagle City Code as the light source is not visible and is concealed or contained within the
sign or located between the sign and the structure/wall. Illumination from the source of light becomes
visible in darkness when the light is reflected off of the walVstructure upon which the sign is attached.
With the restrictions placed within the master sign plan criteria herein, the Board concludes that the
amount of illumination that will be visible through the "Push Through" letters will be less than the
amount of illumination of a halo illuminated letter. The Board recommends that "Push Through"
letters be permitted to provide a greater variety of signage type and styles while creating a more
readable sign text when view at night.
