character of the building to which it relates.
B. ZONING CODE PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS

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

article are complied to create a theme unique to the area called"Eagle Architecture".
• Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-6(A)(4)

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

Page 2 of 12
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Dr\2021\DR-13-21 MSP for Parkview at Heritage drf.doc
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(B): Definitions:
AREA OF THE BUILDING FACE: The general outer surface of an exterior wall of a building.
The area of the building face shall be a total area of such surface, including the area of doors and
windows which open into such face, if any.
FACE OF SIGN: The surface of the sign area upon, against or through which the message is
displayed or illustrated.
MASTER SIGN PLAN: A plan designed to show the relationship of signs for any cluster of
buildings intended for business occupancy, or any single building containing more than one
business or any arrangement of business buildings or shops which constitute a visual entity as a
whole. These include developments such as shopping centers, mini-malls, business parks, and
multi-tenant commercial,office or industrial buildings housing four(4)or more businesses.
Additionally, a master sign plan may be submitted for a single business if the owner chooses to
submit an application for a master sign plan for said business.
SIGN AREA: The entire area within a single, contiguous perimeter enclosing the extreme limits
of writing,representation, logo,emblem or any figure or similar character,together with any form
or other material or color forming an integral part of the display or used to differentiate such sign
area from the background against which it is placed. The sign area shall not include the necessary
supports or uprights on which the sign is placed,and superficial,nonilluminated column covers,
ornamental trim and other such incidental objects attached thereto, or portions of the sign
structure which are not designed to convey a message.
• Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-8(C)(15)Master Sign Plan:
A "master sign plan", as defined by this article, shall be required to be submitted to the city for
review and approval. The purpose of a master sign plan is to coordinate signs, and create a plan
that establishes a building or site's overall sign design. The master sign plan shall show sign
colors, styles and locations of buildings,maximum size, illumination,and materials to be used.
The master sign plan may be approved by the city with elements that require suspension or
relaxation of the height, area,number of signs, or locations of signs specified within this article if
the city council finds that extraordinary conditions exist which allow suspension or relaxation,but
that any suspension or relaxation will still meet the intent of this article and:
a. The development site contains unique or unusual physical conditions such as topography,
proportion, size or relation to a public street that would limit or restrict normal sign visibility;
or
b. The proposed or existing development exhibits unique characteristics of land use, architectural
style, site location,physical scale,historical interest or other distinguishing features that justify
variation from conventional development; or
c. The proposed signage incorporates special design features such as logos, emblems, murals,
statuaries or similar architectural elements that are designed in a manner determined by the
city to be architecturally compatible to the sign and area.
