STAFF ANALYSIS PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT:
A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING
THIS PROPOSAL:
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map (adopted February 10, 2015), designates this site as the
following:
Residential Two
Suitable primarily for single family residential development within areas that are rural in character. An
allowable density of up to 2 units per 1 acre.
B. ZONING CODE PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS
PROPOSAL:
• Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-1: GENERAL APPLICABILITY:
This article applies to all proposed development located within the design review overlay district
which shall include the entire city limits, and any land annexed into the city after the date of
adoption hereof. Such development includes, but is not limited to, new commercial, industrial,
institutional, office, multi -family residential projects, signs, common areas, subdivision signage,
proposed conversions, proposed changes in land use and/or building use, exterior remodeling or
repainting with a color different than what is existing, exterior restoration, and enlargement or
expansion of existing buildings, signs or sites, and requires the submittal of a design review
application pursuant to this article and fee as prescribed from time to time by the city council.
• Eagle City Code Section 8 -2A -6(B)(3): Fences:
a. Block (with columns), which may include brick, rock, stone or similar veneer;
b. Brick (with columns);
c. Wrought iron;
d. Decorative wood and vinyl fencing may be permitted if the city determines that the style of
fence proposed is complementary to the building architecture and overall site design;
e. Dog ear cedar, fir, chainlink, barbwire, razor wire, and similar high maintenance and/or
unsightly fencing is prohibited.
• Eagle City Code Section 8 -2A -7(K): Parking Lot Landscaping:
1. Visual Impact: Landscaping shall be provided to minimize the visual impact of off street
parking:
Page 5 of 13
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Dr\2008\DR-47-08 MOD North Star Charter School Field Expansion drf.docx
Parking should be located to the side and rear of buildings and shall be screened so that it does
not dominate the streetscape. Fences, hedges, berms, and landscaping may be used to screen
parking areas (chainlink fencing shall not be permitted). In the design of large parking areas,
arrange bays of parking spaces to be separated by landscaping. When parking lots occur on
sloping terrain, step the parking lots to follow the terrain rather than allowing the lot surface to
extend above natural grade.
2. Parking Lot Landscape Strip: A landscape strip shall be provided when a parking lot is located
adjacent to a public right of way. The landscaped strip shall serve to shield views of parked
cars to passing motorists and pedestrians, and to establish coordination among architecturally
diverse buildings, which creates a pleasing, harmonious appearance along the roadway.
Four (4) options are provided for fulfilling this requirement:
a. Provide a ten foot (10') wide landscaped strip between the right of way and the parking lot, and
plant with a minimum of one shade tree and ten (10) shrubs per thirty five (35) linear feet of
frontage, excluding driveway openings.
b. Provide an earth berm of thirty inches (30") minimum height (do not exceed 3:1 slope) within
a ten foot (10') wide landscaped strip between the right of way and the parking lot, and plant
with a minimum of one shade tree and five (5) shrubs per thirty five (35) linear feet of
frontage, excluding driveway openings.
c. Provide a six foot (6') landscaped strip with a minimum thirty inch (30") grade drop from the
right of way to the parking lot, and plant with a minimum of one shade tree and five (5) shrubs
per thirty five (35) linear feet of frontage, excluding driveway openings.
d. Provide a three foot (3') high fence of wood, brick, stone, or decorative block or concrete along
with a four foot (4') wide landscaped strip between the right of way and the parking lot, and
plant a minimum of one shade tree and five (5) shrubs per thirty five (35) linear feet of
frontage, excluding driveway openings.
(1) The board may waive the requirement for a wood, brick, stone, decorative block or concrete
fence if the board finds the following:
(A) The applicant must design, document, and obtain city approval representing that the
overall planting design, at the time of planting, results in an effective barrier such that the
landscape strip shields the view of parked cars from passing pedestrians and motorists; and
(B) Any such proposed design alternative is compatible with the overall site design of the
entire project and is compatible with the surrounding area.
• Eagle City Code 8 -2A -7(M): Parkway Strips, Separated Sidewalks, and Street Trees:
3. Within residential developments one shade class (class II) tree selected from the approved tree
list in subsection Q of this section shall be located on both sides of all streets within the eight foot
(8') wide landscape strip between the sidewalk and the curb. Trees shall be planted at the front of
each lot generally located on each side lot line corner with the distance between trees to be a
minimum of thirty five feet (35') and a maximum of eighty feet (80') of street frontage.

area;

ingress/egress to the site and will serve the intended use so as to not cause conflict with adjacent
