STAFF ANALYSIS PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT:
A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING
THIS PROPOSAL:
• The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates this site as Downtown.
Downtown
Page 5 of 14
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Dr\2012\DR-25-12 Ye Olde Sweet Shoppe drf.doc
Suitable primarily for development that accommodates and encourages further expansion
and renewal in the downtown core business area of the community. A variety of business,
public, quasi-public, cultural,residential and other related uses are encouraged. The
greatest possible concentration of retail sales and business is to occur in this land use
designation. Pedestrian friendly uses and developments are encouraged. Land within this
district is the only place to utilize the CBD zoning designation. Other zones within
Downtown Eagle may include Mixed Use, Residential, Commercial and Professional
Office.
Downtown Eagle Plan 6.8.13 Old Towne:
OT6: Civic and Community Center: One of the prominent civic and community
land uses in the Old Towne area is Heritage Park, a .48 acre site located at the
southwest corner of State Street and 2nd Street. Heritage Park functions as the Village
Commons of Eagle and the focus of community events such as Eagle Country
Christmas, Eagle Fun Days, and the Farmers Market.
a. All efforts should be made for the expansion of Heritage Park to ensure that as
the population of Eagle grows so does the heart of the community.
b. Consider investing in a permanent all-season public market building adjacent
to Heritage Park for use by the farmers market and other community events.
(See Figure OT6)
c. Development surrounding the park should be designed to capitalize and
incorporate the scenic qualities of the park.
d. Pursue developer investment in public open space in the Old Towne in order
to expand open spaces.
e. Consider earmarking park impact fees from Downtown Eagle for use in
Downtown Eagle.
f. Special care should be taken to ensure that buildings adjacent to the park do
not wall in the park and make it a dark shadowed area. When feasible,
buildings adjacent to the park should be designed to open up to the park and
include stepped back facades and the use of terraces.
g. In addition to Heritage Park, special consideration should be made for the
design of 1st Street to serve as a community gathering area during community
events, similar to the Basque Block or 8th Street in Boise (See Figure OT7).
h. The City and the Ada County Highway District should work with land owners
and tenants to integrate special design elements into 1st Street including but
not limited to a meandering plaza with offsetting landscape areas, rolled
curbs, stamped concrete and wide sidewalks.
i. Landscape along 1st Street should be designed to avoid creating a barrier
between the street and the store fronts.

C. DISCUSSION:
• The Eagle Hotel was constructed in 1907. Over the years the building has had a variety of uses
within it; however, since the adoption of Ordinance 276 in 1996,the building has been used as a
multi-tenant beauty salon/barber shop(personal services) and office. On February 28, 2012,the
Eagle City Council approved a design review application changing the use of this building from a
multi-tenant office/personal improvement building to a multi-tenant office/retail building(DR-10-
12). As part of the change of use approval, the applicant was required to submit a design review
application to review any building additions, streetscape improvements, landscape changes, etc.
that were proposed to be made to the site. On April 10, 2012, City Staff approved a plan for the
streetscape along 1St Street. The plan showed the addition of three(3) street trees,tree grates, a
historic light fixture, bollards, and parking along 1St Street.
The applicant is requesting design review approval to modify the landscaping, add a patio area
south of the building, and modify the exterior elevations of the storage shed for the Ye Olde Sweet
Shoppe. The modifications to the landscaping include the addition of landscaping around the trash
enclosure, landscaping in the planter island between the parking spaces along the alley and 1st
Street, addition of grass along the west side of the building, and the installation of perma bark
around the existing Catalpa tree located south of the proposed parking along 1St Street. The
applicant is proposing to install a brick patio between the building and the parking lot and the new
ten foot(10')wide sidewalk along 1st Street and the west property line of this site. There is an
existing storage shed located south of the main building that the applicant is proposing to restore.
The storage shed currently has a window on the south building elevation which the applicant is
proposing to remove and infill with materials to match the existing structure. The applicant is
proposing to install a new window on the west elevation of the storage shed.
Staff defers comment regarding the proposed landscape modifications,the patio area, and the
restoration of the storage shed to the Design Review Board.
• There are numerous areas of the code which this site does not comply with regarding the setbacks,
lot coverage, percentage of glass on the street facing facades, streetscape, etc. Staff defers
comment with regard to the setbacks,percentage of glass, streetscape, and lot coverage of the
building to the Design Review Board.
• Staff defers comment regarding building design and site improvements to the Design Review
Board.
