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.
2. The Board reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of the proposed design review in terms of
Eagle City Code 8-2A-13, "General Standards For Design Review" and has concluded that the
proposed design review:
A. Will function in conformance with the applicable strategies of the Eagle Comprehensive Plan and
is in accordance with the regulations of this code since there are no inconsistencies with the
comprehensive plan and government office is permitted with the approval of a design review
application within the CBD (Central Business District) zoning district;
B. Is of a scale, intensity, and character that is in harmony with existing conforming and planned
development in the vicinity of the site since the proposed building is designed to complement the
general vicinity;
Page 11 of 12
K:1Planning DeptlEagle Applications1Dr120051DR-48-0S MOD Bldg Addition to Eagle City Hall drf docx
Amok
C. Is designed with adequate off street parking facilities in such a way as to not interfere with
ingress/egress to the site and will serve the intended use so as to not cause conflict with adjacent
uses as anticipated within the zoning district since the site has adequate parking for all uses
proposed;
D. Will not interfere with the visual character, quality, or appearance of the surrounding area and city,
and where possible, enhance the continuity of thematically common architectural features since the
proposed building architecture complements the existing building architecture to meet the Italianate
style of architecture identified in the Eagle Architecture and Site Design book;
E. Will have facades, features, and other physical improvements that are designed as a whole, when
viewed alone as well as in relationship to surrounding buildings and settings since the proposed
government building is in conformance with the Eagle Architecture and Site Design book and has

considerations since the proposed building height does not exceed 35-feet permitted within Eagle

patterned traffic circulation and connectivity to abutting development since the site has been
designed with sidewalks, a plaza area, a loading area, and parking area;

harmonious with the architectural design of the building, and will not cover nor detract from
