Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment Language
6.8.14 Guerber Park Planning Area
The Guerber Park Planning Area is designated as mixed use node combining, limited service
commercial, limited retail, professional office, and a mixture of residential densities including
single family, multi-family, and housing for older persons. The vision for the area is to recognize
the activity center created by Guerber Park, transportation as it relates to the Highway 55 corridor
and existing development, and to provide compatible land uses at densities that accommodate
pedestrian scale design and future mass transit. The area is defined as the property on the west
side of Hwy 55 and the north side of Hill Road, and includes the area north to the Arbor Ridge
Subdivision, east to Hwy 55 and includes Guerber Park to the west.
A. Uses
The land use and development policies specific to the Guerber Park Planning Area include the
following:
1. Parcel specific, limited service commercial, limited retail, professional office and
medium to high density residential shall be allowed adjacent to Hill Road with a the
residential densities transitioning to no more than four units per acre towards the north
and the existing large lot residential and the park to the west.
2. This area is encouraged to include active living opportunities for retirement age citizens
(Housing for Older Persons).
3. Single use/strip commercial shall not be permitted in this area. Design shall focus inward
and be integrated into the planning area with consistent architecture and site design.
4. Transitional residential densities and design elements (plantings, fences, etc.) should be
used to provide buffering from the mixed use areas to the existing large lot residential
uses within the planning area.
B. Access
1. Primary vehicular access should be taken from Echohawk Drive and Sadie Drive with
limited secondary access to Hill Road.
2. To the greatest extent possible, the planning area should be designed with internal
circulation for pedestrians and bikes between residential,non-residential and park uses.
3. Private roads may be allowed in connection with housing for older persons and planned
unit developments but private roads should be designed to limit access to public facilities
and roadway networks unless deemed necessary for emergency services.
C. Design
L Development in the Guerber Park Planning Area shall be required to submit as a planned
unit development and/or through a development agreement.
2. Architecture and signage for non-residential and multi-family uses should be designed to
be compatible and compliment the other uses in the planning area.
3. Hill Road should be recognized as a gateway corridor for the City of Eagle and should
have proper berming, landscaping, monumentation, and setbacks.
4. Pathways and trails within the planning area should be located so to limit impacts to the
hillsides and areas of high erosion.
5. All grading and hillside disturbance shall be engineered to ensure stability and to limit the
impacts of erosion.
6. There shall be an adequate buffer between the eastern boundary of Guerber Park and
development areas to the east. The intent is to ensure that park users do not feel as
though they are encroaching on private property and also to shield residents to the east
from the frequent intense activities of the park.
