C. 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 -7(K) Parking Lot Landscaping:
1. Visual Impact: Landscaping shall be provided to minimize the visual impact of off street
parking:
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,
Page 6 of 13
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Dr12017 DR -13-17 Trailhead Parking and Pathway within Pamela Baker Park drf.docx
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.
3. Parking Lot Perimeter Landscaping: Perimeter landscaping requirements define parking areas
and prevent two (2) adjacent lots from becoming one large expanse of paving. This
requirement does not hinder the ability to provide vehicular access between lots.
a. Provide a minimum five foot (5') wide perimeter landscaped strip between the property
lines and the parking lot, and plant with a minimum of one shade tree and five (5) shrubs
per thirty five (35) linear feet of perimeter.
4. Parking Lot Interior Landscaping:
a. Calculated Amount: Interior parking lot landscaping shall be required on any parking lot
with ten (10) spaces and above. The required amount of landscaping is based on a sliding
scale, as follows:
Percent Of Total Area Of
Total Number A Lot That Must Be An
Of Snaces Interior Landscaaed Area
10 - 20 5 percent
21 - 50 T8 percent
51+ ' 10 percent
b. Additional Requirements:
(1) No interior planter shall be less than five feet (5') in any dimension.
(2) No parking space shall be more than sixty feet (60') from an interior landscaped area.
(3) Parking islands are to be as evenly spaced as feasible throughout the lot to
consistently reduce the visual impact of long rows of parked cars.
Page 7of13
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Dr22017\DR-I3-17 Trailhead Parking and Pathway within Pamela Baker Park drEdocx
(4) Deciduous shade trees and ground covers or low shrubs are recommended as primary
plantings in interior landscaped areas. Deciduous shade trees are to be clear branched
to a height of six feet (6').
(5) A terminal island for a single row of parking spaces shall be landscaped with at least
one tree and shrubs, ground cover, or grass. A terminal island for a double row of
parking spaces shall contain not less than two (2) trees and shrubs, ground cover, or
grass.
• Eagle City Code Section 8 -2A -7(M) Parkway Strips, Separated Sidewalks, and Street Trees:
1. Except as may otherwise be required within the DDA, TDA, CEDA, and DSDA sidewalks
shall be separated from the curb along all streets. Sidewalks shall be required when space
permits. An eight foot (8') wide minimum parkway planter strip planted with shade class
(class II) trees shall be required between the sidewalk and street to provide a canopy effect
over streets.
2. In all required applications, excluding residential developments, one street tree, selected from
the approved tree list in subsection Q of this section, shall be planted per thirty five (35)
linear feet of street frontage.
4. In all cases, any planting within public rights of way shall be with approval from the public
and/or private entities owning the property.
• Eagle City Code Section 8-3-2(D)

such area or areas for collection of trash and/or garbage as determined by the administrator shall
be provided.
• Eagle City Code Section 8-4-4-6: BICYCLE PARKING:
One bicycle parking space within an approved rack shall be required for each thirty (30) required
automobile parking spaces or fraction thereof for office and commercial developments. Multi-
family residential developments shall provide one bicycle rack space per each ten (10) units.
Bicycle parking racks shall be in a well lit area, and shall be designed in accordance with the
parking facility criteria of the "Bicycle -Pedestrian Design Manual For Ada County" as prepared
for the Ada County highway district with the exception that bicycle racks do not have to be
covered unless required by the design review board, or planning and zoning commission or city
council.
