D. DISCUSSION:
• The applicant is requesting design review approval to construct a 6,100-square foot office
building. The applicant's justification letter states the design of the building is Tudor style which
is one of the nine architectural styles within the Eagle Architecture and Site Design book. The
justification letter also states the design is not a strict Tudor -style and represents a much needed
transitional design esthetic that honors the neighboring buildings design theme and scale but
offers future developments additional design queues. The building design also has a distinct
residential scale of the design. Staff defers comment regarding the building design and colors to
the Design Review Board.
The proposed building should be designed to be harmonious with buildings in the surrounding
vicinity. Pursuant to Eagle City Code 8-2A-13(B)(2)(d)&(e), the proposed building should be
designed to 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, and 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. Staff
defers comment of the proposed building regarding the harmonious nature and relationship of the
building to the surrounding vicinity to the Design Review Board.
• The roof plan shows three rooftop mechanical units to be screened by parapet walls. Pursuant to
Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-6(A)(5)(b), roof mounted mechanicals are required to be screen
from view at eye level by the parapet walls. The applicant should be required to provide a cross
section of the building showing the mechanical units in relation to the parapet walls are screened
from view at eye level. The cross section of the building should be reviewed and approved by
staff prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate.
• The building elevations show a combination of asphalt shingles, singly ply, and metal roofing
proposed on the building. Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-6(B)(2)(e), metal roofing is
required to have concealed fasteners. The applicant should be required to provide revised building
elevations showing the metal roofing to have concealed fasteners. The revised building elevations
should be reviewed and approved by staff prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate.
• The site has an existing pad for the trash enclosure that was approved and constructed with the
Arts West Subdivision common area landscaping (DR-67-07). The landscape plan shows 128-
square foot trash enclosure for this site which is consistent with the existing pad size. Eagle City
Code Section 8-2A-6(B)(7), states that all commercial is required to provide for trash and recycle
services and have an enclosed area for both the storage of trash and recycle receptacles. The
applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan showing an enclosed area for
both trash and recycle receptacles. The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved
by staff prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate.
• The landscape plan identifies trees in the interior landscape islands as "FA," however that tree
type is not listed on the plant schedule. The applicant verified the trees are "GT" which are shown
in the plant schedule and identified as Skyline Honeylocust trees. The applicant should provide a
revised landscape plan showing the trees identified with an "FA" to be shown with a "GT"
Page 7 of 13

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
1. The Council reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed design review application
(DR-62-20) 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 an office 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 proposed office building is designed to comply
with the Tudor architectural style identified in the Eagle Architecture and Site Design book and
complement 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 adequate parking for the proposed
office use and complies with Eagle City Code Section 8-4-4-5;
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 office building is designed to meet the Tudor 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
office 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 proposed office building height does not exceed the 35-feet permitted
within Eagle City Code;
G. Will provide safe and convenient access to the property for both vehicles and pedestrians through
patterned traffic circulation and connectivity to abutting development since the site has been
designed with walkways and has an existing parking lot and pathway south of the site adjacent to
State Highway 44;
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 since the
walkways and the existing pathway south of the building provide connection to other buildings
within the development; and
I. No signs are proposed with this application. A separate design review application (DR-63-20) has
been submitted for the building wall signs and will be required to be harmonious with the
architectural design of the building, and will not cover nor detract from desirable architectural
features.
