THE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD RECEIVED AND REVIEWED THE FOLLOWING STAFF
ANALYSIS PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT AND ADOPTS THE STAFF REPORT
AS PART OF THE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD'S FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING
THIS PROPOSAL:
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map (adopted November 15, 2017), designates this site as the
following:
Downtown
Suitable primarily for development that accommodates and encourages further expansion and renewal
in the downtown core.A variety of business, public, quasi-public,cultural, ancillary residential and
other related uses are encouraged. The greatest possible concentration of retail sales and business is to
occur in this land use designation.Pedestrian friendly uses and developments are encouraged.
Residential only development should be discouraged. Land within this district is the only place to
utilize the CBD zoning designation. Other zones within Downtown Eagle may include Mixed Use,
Residential,Commercial, and Professional Office.
Scenic Corridor
An overlay designation that is intended to provide significant setbacks from major corridors and
natural features through the City. These areas may require berming,enhanced landscaping,detached
meandering pathways and appropriate signage controls. This designation includes the Willow Creek
Scenic Corridor that is to provide increased setbacks and buffering of development including natural
vegetation and restoration,regional trails, and connectivity.
Page 6 of 20
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Dr\2022\Residence Inn Hotel Bldg DR-34-22\Residence Inn drf.docx
Public/Semi-Public
Suitable primarily for the development of such uses as golf courses, parks,recreation facilities,
greenways, schools,cemeteries, and public service facilities such as government offices. Support
activities may also be permitted.
All development within this land use is encouraged to be designed to accommodate the different
needs, interests, and age levels of residents in matters concerning both recreation and civil activities.
The public/semi-public land use designation is not a residential land use designation. When a project
or development is designed that contains or is adjacent to land holding a public/semi-public land use,
this land will not be included when calculating the allowable residential density. Projects that hold a
residential designation that want to provide or dedicate amenities similar to those allowed in the
public/semi-public designation may transfer unused density from these areas to other areas within the
development, as approved by the City Council through the Planned Unit Development process as
defined in the comprehensive plan.

• The applicant is requesting design review approval of a 131 room, four(4) story hotel with pool
and pool house to be located within Molinari Development between State Highway 44 and East
Plaza Drive, adjacent to South Palmetto Avenue. On May 24, 2022, the City Council approved a
conditional use permit application to allow a four (4) story hotel including a height exception to
54-feet. The height of the proposed hotel building is 54-feet which does not exceed that which was
approved by the City on May 24,2022. As stated in the applicant's narrative,date stamped by the
City on April 21, 2022, the architectural style of the hotel resembles many forms often associated
with Prairie School. The Prairie School elements include boxy and symmetrical and rectangular
massing with the use of natural materials of brick, wood, and stucco in earth tone colors. Staff
defers comment regarding the architectural style,materials,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 applicant is proposing to use roof top mechanical units that are proposed to be screened by a
metal louvered panel system. Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-6(A)(5)(b), the location
and design of transformers, pad mount and roof mounted mechanicals and electrical equipment
shall be reviewed and approved by the design review board. All roof mounted mechanicals shall
be completely screened from view through the use of a parapet wall when utilizing a flat roof design
or shall be enclosed within the building when utilizing a roof design other than a flat roof."Screened
from view" shall mean "not visible" at the same level or elevation of the parapet wall (e.g., the
perspective generally as shown on an elevation plan). The applicant should be required to provide
Page 12 of 20
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Dr\2022\Residence Inn Hotel Bldg DR-34-22\Residence Inn drf docx
revised building elevations showing the roof top mechanical units screened from view by the
parapet walls of the building. The revised building elevations should be reviewed and approved
by the Design Review Board prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate.
• The applicant is proposing metal panels under the windows on the hotel building on all elevations.
Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-6(B)(1)(k), metal siding shall also be prohibited in the
DDA,TDA,CEDA design review overlay district areas. Staff defers comment regarding the metal
siding under the windows to the Design Review Board.
• The developer of Molinari Subdivision was required to construct the sidewalk adjacent to East
Plaza Drive. The sidewalk along East Plaza, adjacent to the hotel site, was required to be a
minimum of 13-feet in width for a pathway. Based on the Parks, Pathways and Recreation
Commission, dated July 2, 2020, no sidewalk or pathway was required to be constructed on the
west side of South Palmetto Avenue. This was to alleviate users from trying to cross the right-
in/right-out driveway located near the southeast corner of this development. A plaza area is
proposed at the main entry of the hotel building. Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-6(E),
orientation: Shall be designed so that at least seventy percent(70%)of the building's ground level,
street facing facades are constructed to abut and be oriented to a public sidewalk or plaza. Staff
defers comment regarding the orientation of the building to the sidewalk and plaza areas.
Staff does suggest that a north/south pedestrian access be provided to provide access between the
building and the 13-foot wide pathway adjacent to East Plaza Drive. The applicant should be
required to provide a revised site and landscape plan showing a north/south pedestrian connection
between the hotel building and the 13-foot wide pathway located adjacent to East Plaza Drive. The
revised site and 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.
• Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-6(G)(5), streetlights within the CEDA shall be located
a maximum distance of one hundred fifty feet(150')apart except as specified in subsection G6 of
this section. Said streetlights are not required to be located in alignment across the street from each
other. The applicant should be required to provide a revised site and landscape plan showing
historic streetlights on the west side of South Palmetto Avenue spaced 150-feet apart. The historic
streetlights fixtures shall be operated and maintained by the owner of the property. The revised
site and landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff and one member of the Design
Review Board prior to the issuance of zoning certificate.
• Pursuant to past action by the Eagle Design Review Board and City Council, plant material and
trees around the base of buildings,that have received conditional use permit approval for a height
exception,have been required to be larger than the minimum required within Eagle City Code. The
purpose of the larger plant material and trees is to help provide a base to the building and to help
the landscaping to look more established adjacent to the taller buildings. Staff defers comment
regarding increasing the size of the plant material and trees around the base of the hotel building to
the Design Review Board.
• The landscape plans have been updated since the original submittal of the design review
application. There are a couple landscape islands at the north end of the parking lot where changes
were not updated with regard to the modifications made to the plans. The applicant should be
required to provide a revised landscape plan showing the plant material in the northern landscape
islands of the parking lot to be located within the landscape islands and planter areas as specified
on the revised civil sheets. The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff
prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate.
