D. DISCUSSION:
• On July 10, 2018, the City Council approved a rezone with development agreement to address
setbacks, lot coverage, and permitted uses for this site.
• The applicant is requesting design review approval to construct a 14,000-square foot, eight unit,
multi -tenant flex space building. The applicant's justification letter states that the architectural
style is a contemporary understated Prairie School design with strong horizontal elements. Prairie
School is one of the nine architectural styles identified in the Eagle Architecture and Site Design
(EASD) book, however, it is staff's opinion that the design of the building is missing elements
and materials (i.e. use of natural materials, horizontal lines, roof overhanging eaves, etc.) present
in a Prairie School style (as identified in the EASD Book).
Examples from the EASD Book
The applicant should be required to provide revised building elevations showing additional
elements present in a Prairie School style of architecture. The revised building elevations should
be reviewed and approved by staff and two members of the Design Review Board prior to the
issuance of a zoning certificate.
• The building elevations show a combination of stucco and board and bat siding on the north and
south elevations and metal siding and board and bat siding on the east and west elevations.
Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-6(B)(1)(a), synthetic board and bat sidings are
perm itted as accents only. Staff defers comment regarding the board and bat siding to the Design
Review Board.
• The building elevations show metal siding on the east and west elevations. Pursuant to Eagle City
Code Section 8-2A-6(B)(1)(k), metal siding is required to be anodized, have concealed fasteners,
have a silicon polyester finish or equivalent, and include special design treatments to enhance the
appearance (may include brick or masonry wainscot treatments along exterior walls and accent
colored material). The applicant should be required to provide revised building elevations for the
east and west building elevations showing the metal siding to be anodized, have concealed
Page 15 of 25
K:\Planning DcptVEagle Applications0r\2020\DR-22-20 Multi -tenant Flex Space Bldg ccf docx
fasteners, have a silicon polyester finish or equivalent, and include special design treatments
(brick or masonry wainscot treatments) along the exterior walls and accent colored metals. The
revised building elevations shall be reviewed and approved by staff and two members of the
Design Review Board prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate.
• This site is located within the Dunyon/State Development Area (DSDA). Pursuant to Eagle City
Code Section 8-2A-6(F)(2)(c), pedestrian amenities are encouraged within the front and rear
setback areas such as public art, landscape treatment, seating, flowers/shrubs/tree displays in
movable planters, outdoor dining, plazas, streetscape extension, and bicycle racks. The landscape
plan shows bicycle racks proposed in front of each unit and no additional amenities proposed. Staff
defers comment regarding pedestrian amenities to the Design Review Board.
• The applicant is proposing to remove all existing trees from the site. The "site demo and clean-
up" plan, date stamped by the City on July 24, 2020, states that the trees proposed to be removed
are in poor, fair, and good condition. On August 4, 2020, staff completed a site inspection of the
existing trees (see photos provided herein). The majority of the trees are identified as dead, or in
poor to fair condition; however, there are two Colorado Spruce trees identified as fair to good
condition.
If the Design Review Board approves the removal of all existing trees staff recommends
mitigation be required for the two Colorado Spruce trees. The applicant should be required to
provide a revised "site demo and clean up" plan showing the height of all coniferous trees. The
two Colorado Spruce trees should be mitigation for as outlined within "Eagle City Code Section
8-2A-7(C) and 8-2A-7(0)(3). The revised "site demo and clean-up" plan and mitigation in
accordance with Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(C) and 8-2A-7(0)(3), should be reviewed and
approved by staff and two members of the Design Review Board prior to the issuance of a zoning
certificate.
• The landscape plan identifies rock mulch as the ground cover between the building and east and
west property lines with no additional landscape proposed. The property is adjacent to another
commercial use on the east property line and located adjacent to a residential use on the west
property line. Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(J)(2)(a), requires a 10-foot-wide by six -foot -high
landscape buffer between commercial and residential uses and Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-
7(J)(2)(b), requires a five-foot wide by six-foot high landscape buffer between a parking lot and
residential use.
The property is located within the Dunyon/State Development Area (DSDA) overlay district. The
DSDA overlay district was created in order to encourage new development. Eagle City Code
Section 8-2A-6(F)(2), states that the minimum required landscaping between the building and the
property line and the perimeter parking lot landscaping may be reduced when the Design Review
Board finds that the building's design style and architecture serves as an appropriate buffer to the
adjacent property.
If the Design Review Board recommends approval of the reduced landscape buffer between the
building and east property line, the applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape
plan showing 5-foot wide by 6-foot high landscape buffer (minimum 60% evergreen plant
material) between the building/parking lot and east property line. The revised landscape plan
should be reviewed and approved by staff and one member of the Design Review Board prior to
the issuance of a zoning certificate.
• The landscape plan identifies a five-foot wide landscape strip between the right of way and the
parking lot on both the State Street and Dunyon Street sides. Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-
7(K)(2), requires a landscape strip between the parking lot and public right-of-way and meets one
of the four criteria. The applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan showing
a landscape strip between the right-of-way and parking lot that is:
Page 16 of 25
K:1Planning Dept'Eaglc Applications1Dr120201DR-22-20 Multi -tenant Flex Space Bldg ccfdocx
a) A ten foot (10') wide landscaped strip between the right of way and the parking lot, and plant
with a minimum of one shade tree and ten (10) shrubs per thirty five (35) linear feet of
frontage, excluding driveway openings. -foot wide landscaped stripped between the right of
way and the parking lot,
b) An earth berm of thirty inches (30") minimum height (do not exceed 3:1 slope) within a ten
foot (10') wide landscaped strip between the right of way and the parking lot, and plant with a
minimum of one shade tree and five (5) shrubs per thirty five (35) linear feet of frontage,
excluding driveway openings,
c) A six foot (6') landscaped strip with a minimum thirty inch (30") grade drop from the right of
way to the parking lot, and plant with a minimum of one shade tree and five (5) shrubs per
thirty five (35) linear feet of frontage, excluding driveway openings,
-or-
d) A three foot (3') high fence of wood, brick, stone, or decorative block or concrete along with a
four foot (4') wide landscaped strip between the right of way and the parking lot, and plant a
minimum of one shade tree and five (5) shrubs per thirty five (35) linear feet of frontage,
excluding driveway openings.
The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff and one member of the
Design Review Board prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate.
• The site has approximately 64-feet of right-of-way between the south property line and edge of
pavement along East State Street and approximately 12-feet of right-of-way between the north
property line and edge of pavement along East Dunyon Street. The site and landscape plan do not
identify improvements between the property line and edge of payment including curb, gutter, and
sidewalk along East State Street and East Dunyon Street. Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(M),
requires sidewalks within the DSDA to be separated from the back of curb with an eight -foot
wide parkway planter strip and planted with shade class trees. The applicant should be required to
provide a revised site and landscape plan showing the area located between the north and south
property lines up to the edge of pavement improved including showing a five-foot wide sidewalk
with an eight -foot wide parkway planter strip planted with a shade class tree every 35-feet
between back of curb on East State Street and East Dunyon Street. The revised site and landscape
plan should be reviewed and approved by staff and two members of the Design Review Board
prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate.
• The site and landscape plan show two parking lots located north of the building and two parking
lots south of the building, but it is unclear if the parking lots and drive aisles into the site are to be
paved. Eagle City Code Section 8-4-3, requires all parking and loading spaces, together with
driveways, aisles and other circulation areas to be improved with material such as asphalt or
concrete, to provide a durable and dust free surface. Gravel or dirt surfaces are not permitted. The
applicant should be required to provide a revised site and landscape plan showing the four parking
lots and drive aisles improved with asphalt or concrete. The revised site and landscape plan should
be reviewed and approved by staff prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate.
• The floor plan for the building shows a shop/warehouse with an office and bathroom, and one -
parking space located within the shop/warehouse for each of the eight units. There are three
parking spaces located in front of each of the eight -units. The use for each unit may vary based on
the permitted uses identified with the development agreement. Uses will be permitted based on
four -parking spaces per unit (three, if the parking space within the shop/warehouse is removed).
If a joint/collective parking agreement is recorded for the four parking lots, other uses may be
considered.
Page 17 of 25
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\D?2020\DR-22-20 Multi -tenant Flex Space Bldg ccr.docx
• The landscape plan identifies a vinyl fence along the west property line but the height of the fence
is not identified. The applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan showing
the height of the proposed fence along the west property line. The revised landscape plan should
be reviewed and approved by staff and one member of the Design Review Board prior to the
issuance of a zoning certificate.
• The site has existing above ground utilities. The site and landscape plans do not show the location
of the existing above ground utilities nor do they show the above ground utilities to be installed
underground. The applicant should be required to provide a revised site and landscape plan
showing all overhead powerlines, cable, and telephone service systems to be installed
underground and all poles removed. The revised site plan shall be reviewed and approved by staff
prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
1. The Council reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed design review application
(DR-22-20) 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.
2. The Council 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 a multi -tenant flex space building is permitted with the approval of a
design review application within the MU-DA (Mixed Use with a development agreement) 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 multi -tenant flex space building is designed to
comply with the Craftsman architectural style identified in the Eagle Architecture and Site Design
book and complements the general vicinity;
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 32-parking spaces and parking will
be evaluated per use;
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 multi -tenant flex space building is design to meet the Craftsman 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 multi -tenant
flex space building is in conformance with the Eagle Architecture and Site Design book and has
been designed to complement the buildings in the vicinity;
F. Will not obstruct views and vistas as they pertain to the urban environment and in relation to artistic
considerations since the multi -tenant flex space building height does not exceed 35-feet permitted
withing Eagle City Code;

patterned traffic circulation and connectivity to abutting development since the site has been design
with a parking lot and sidewalk in front of the units;

H. Is in the interest of public health, safety, and general welfare promoting a pedestrian friendly and
walkable environment in balance with protecting a viable commercial center in the area; and
I. No signs are proposed with this application. A separate design review application (DR-37-20) has
been submitted for the master sign plan criteria for the site and the signs will be required to be
harmonious with the architectural design of the building, and will not cover nor detract from
desirable architectural features.
3. The Council reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed design review application
in terms of Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-6(F), "Dunyon/State Development Area" and has concluded
that the proposed design review:
A. Will have a reduced landscape buffer of 5-feet adjacent to the west property line due to a reduced
setback of 5-feet being approved within the development agreement and the building's design style,
architecture, and 6-foot tall fence serving as an appropriate buffer to the adjacent property.
