THE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD RECEIVED AND REVIEWED THE FOLLOWING STAFF
ANALYSIS PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT:
A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING
THIS PROPOSAL:
• Protect and enhance the small town character of the City by requiring signage which is creative
and distinctive, compatible with its surroundings, and an integral component of the style and
character of the building to which it relates.
B. ZONING CODE PROVISIONS WHICH 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 for
residents and visitors alike. The architectural designs, materials, and graphics set forth in this
article are complied to create a theme unique to the area called "Eagle Architecture".
• Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-6(A)(4)
Signage for any project shall provide for business identification and minimize clutter and
confusion on and off the site.
a. The "overall sign concept" for multi -tenant business centers to assure that it addresses the
continuity between tenant sign design and building design;
b. The reduction of hazards to motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians as may be caused by or
partially attributable to the distraction and obstruction of improperly located and designed
signs;
c. The provision for effective and necessary business identification systems adapted to the
building design;
d. The continued maintenance of signs throughout their life; and
e. The size, location, design, color, texture, lighting, landscaping, and hours of operations of all
permanent signs and outdoor advertising structures or features to ensure that any such
proposals do not detract from the function of, or design of, buildings, structures, surrounding
properties, neighborhoods, or streets.
• Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-8:
A. Applicability:
1. All Signs: Signs shall not be erected or maintained in any district as established by the

classification within this article which most closely defines or classifies any such sign.
3. Architectural Compatibility: The number, area, and height of signs as outlined in this
article are intended to be maximum standards which do not necessarily ensure
architectural compatibility. Therefore, in addition to the enumerated maximum
standards, the city shall give consideration to a sign's relationship to the overall
Page5of17
K:1Planning DepttEaglc Applications1Dr120031DR-68-03 MOD3 North Channel Chevron signage drf.doc
appearance of the subject property as well as the surrounding area.
4. Materials And Appearance: It is the intent of this article to encourage interesting,
creative, readable, effective, uncluttered, and well maintained signage. Sign materials
and appearance shall be complementary to the building architecture and colors. The
exhibits provided in the EASD book are examples of the types of sign designs
envisioned for the Eagle architecture theme.
5. Nonconforming Signs: All signs in the entire city on the effective date hereof shall
conform to this title upon any structural change to the sign, sign base, or building to
which it is attached, or upon any change in the face or copy of the sign for the business
to which such sign pertains if the use associated with the business is changed, except as
provided for within subsection C 16n, "Historic Signage", of this section.
6. Change Of Face, Copy And/Or Logo On Signs: For signs conforming to this article, a
permit shall not be required for a change of face, copy and/or logo on any such sign,

previously approved by the city are not changed.
B. Definitions: If conflict arises between any definition in this section and any other definition
