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 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 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.
