A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING
THIS PROPOSAL:

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)
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 complied to create a theme unique to the area called "Eagle Architecture".

KAM:inning I)cpiTaglc Applications1Dr1201611)R-35-I6 M()1) East End Riverside MSI' ccf.docx
• 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(B) Definitions:
GRADE: The elevation or level of the street closest to the sign to which reference is made, as
measured at the street's centerline, or top of curb if one exists, adjacent to where the sign is to be
placed, or the relative ground level in the immediate vicinity of the sign if determined by the zoning
administrator to be an accurate determination for grade with regard to the intent of this article.
HEIGHT OF SIGN: The vertical distance measured from the grade to the highest point of a sign or
any vertical projection thereof. Architectural elements used above any sign area may be excluded
from the maximum height measurement if the city determines that said architectural elements add
to the character of the sign and do not create an overbearing appearance in relation to the sign,
building and area.
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
(lb"). 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 (I/4") around the letters, logo, and other graphics, creating a halo
effect.
MASTER SIGN PLAN: A plan designed to show the relationship of signs for any cluster of
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
multi -tenant commercial, office or industrial buildings housing four (4) or more businesses.
Additionally, a master sign plan may be submitted for a single business if the owner chooses to
submit an application for a master sign plan for said business
MONUMENT SIGN: A freestanding sign with a solid base, including rock signs, or with supports
that are designed to be structurally similar to the sign construction, and which incorporate
architectural features which complement the sign construction. Pole type supports are not permitted
for monument signs, unless enclosed within the monument sign structure.
SUBDIVISION SIGN: A permanent on premises sign used to identify a subdivision.

• Eagle City Code Section 8 -2A -8(C)(13) Sign Illumination:

article is designed such that brightness levels are controlled to assure a soft, subtle effective light
in accordance with other city regulations intended to create and maintain the Eagle architecture
theme, while encouraging energy efficient lighting.
b. Illumination types, styles, and practices not listed herein shall be prohibited unless otherwise
deemed by the design review board and city council to be consistent with the Eagle architecture

colors, styles and locations of buildings, maximum size, illumination, and materials to be used.
The master sign plan may be approved by the city with elements that require suspension or
relaxation of the height, area, number of signs, or locations of signs specified within this article if
the city council finds that extraordinary conditions exist which allow suspension or relaxation, but
that any suspension or relaxation will still meet the intent of this article and:
a. The development site contains unique or unusual physical conditions such as topography,
proportion, size or relation to a public street that would limit or restrict normal sign visibility; or
b. The proposed or existing development exhibits unique characteristics of land use, architectural
style, site location, physical scale, historical interest or other distinguishing features that justify
variation from conventional development; or
c. The proposed signage incorporates special design features such as logos, emblems, murals,
statuaries or similar architectural elements that are designed in a manner determined by the city to
be architecturally compatible to the sign and area.
C. DISCUSSION:
• The applicant is requesting design review approval to modify the master sign plan for East End
Riverside which is located on the southeast corner of State Highway 44 and South Edgewood Lane.
The modifications include the following:
o Provide alternative options for TS -1 and TS -2 monument signs with regard to exposed
neon and punch through illumination.
o Change metal cap on TS -1 and TS -2 monument signs and on the proposed TS -3 and TS -4
monument signs.
o Change the construction of the E—E symbol on TS -1, TS -2 and TS -4 monument signs from
halo illumination to routed 3/a -inch clear acrylic primed and painted.
On June 23, 2016, when the Design Review Board reviewed and approved the master sign plan for
the East End Riverside (DR -35-16) the Board was enthusiastic about the consistent look of the
illumination of all the multi -tenant monument signs (TS -1 and TS -2) being exposed neon. With
this modification, the applicant is asking for tenants to have the option to have exposed neon, non -
illuminated, or punch through illuminated tenant panels. The master sign plan criteria below has
been modified to show the applicant's proposed changes; however, staff defers comment regarding
the multiple options of tenant panel illumination on the monument signs to the Design Review
Board.
• The applicant is requesting design review approval of the master sign plan for East End Riverside
located on the southeast corner of State Highway 44 and South Edgewood Lane. Staff recommends
the following criteria for the "East End Riverside Master Sign Plan".
