STAFF ANALYSIS PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT:
A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING
THIS PROPOSAL:
• Protect and enhance the small town character of the City by requiring signage which is creative
and distinctive, compatible with its surroundings, and an integral component of the style and
character of the building to which it relates.
B. ZONING CODE PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS
PROPOSAL:
• Eagle City Code Section 8 -2A -2(B)
Page 3 of 13
K:\Planning Dept Eagle Applications\Dr22017\DR-05-17 Convenience Store with Fuel Service MSP drEdoc
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
residents and visitors alike. The architectural designs, materials, and graphics set forth in this
article are compiled to create a theme unique to the area called "Eagle Architecture".
• Eagle City Code Section 8 -2A -6(A)(4)
Signage for any project shall provide for business identification and minimize clutter and
confusion on and off the site.
• Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-6(A)(4)(c)
Signs are to provide effective and necessary business identification systems adapted to the building
design.
• Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-6(A)(4)(e)
The size, location, design, color, texture, lighting, landscaping, and hours of operations of all
permanent signs and outdoor advertising structures or features to insure that any such 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(A)
3. Architectural Compatibility: The number, area, and height of signs as outlined in this article are
intended to be maximum standards which do not necessarily ensure architectural compatibility.
Therefore, in addition to the enumerated maximum standards, the city shall give consideration
to a sign's relationship to the overall appearance of the subject property as well as the
surrounding area.
4. Materials And Appearance: It is the intent of this article to encourage interesting, creative,
readable, effective, uncluttered, and well maintained signage. Sign materials and appearance
shall be complementary to the building architecture and colors. The exhibits provided in the
EASD book are examples of the types of sign designs envisioned for the Eagle architecture
theme.
6. Change Of Face, Copy And/Or Logo On Signs: For signs conforming to this article, a permit
shall not be required for a change of face, copy and/or logo on any such sign, provided that the
sign structure is not changed in any way and provided that the colors previously approved by
the city are not changed.
• 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.
AUTOMATED SIGN: A sign with a fixed or changing display capable of displaying words,
symbols, figures or images composed of, a series of light emitting elements or moving panels or
parts; including, but not limited to: tripaneled, digital, electronic message boards, light emitting
diodes (LED) signs or signs that in any other way move or create the illusion of movement. This
definition does not include signs with copy that is manually changed.
ILLUMINATION, EXTERNAL: A sign that is affected by an artificial light source that is not
contained within the sign itself.
ILLUMINATION, HALO: Illumination of a sign from a light source that is not visible and is
concealed or contained within the sign or located between the sign and the structure/wall.
Illumination from the source of the light becomes visible in darkness when the light is reflected off
Page 4 of 13
KAPlanning Dept\Eagle Applications\Dr\2017\DR-05-17 Convenience Store with Fuel Service MSP drf.doc
of the wall/structure upon which the sign is attached.
ILLUMINATION, INTERNAL: Illumination of a sign from any light source that is concealed or
contained within the sign and becomes visible in darkness through a translucent surface, except for
illumination, punch through letter signs. This includes characters, letters, figures, designs or
outline which is illuminated by gas filled luminous tubes, such as neon, argon or fluorescent.
ILLUMINATION, PUNCH THROUGH LETTER: A sign with letters, logos or other sign
graphics that are opaque (no light is permitted to shine through them), that are attached to a sign
cabinet or structure that allows light to shine through it. The distance between the letters, logos, or
other sign graphics and the background (surface of the cabinet or structure) is a maximum of one-
half inch (1/2"). The light source is concealed within the cabinet or structure and is not visible
except that illumination from the light source shines though transparent (nonopaque) background
material for no more than one-fourth inch (1/4") around the letters, logo, and other graphics,
creating a halo effect.

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

relaxation of the height, area, number of signs, or locations of signs specified within this
article if the design review board finds that extraordinary conditions exist which allow
suspension or relaxation, but that any suspension or relaxation will still meet the intent of this
