THE CITY COUNCIL RECEIVED AND REVIEWED THE FOLLOWING STAFF ANALYSIS
PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT AND ADOPTS THE STAFF REPORT AS PART OF
THE CITY COUNCIL'S FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING
THIS PROPOSAL:
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map (adopted November 14, 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.
6.17.3 Olde Towne Planning Area
Olde Towne Eagle should maintain the quaint feel of a traditional town center;as the active community
center and community gathering place for the City. The character of Olde Towne is generally defined
by its pedestrian-scale(attached sidewalks, store fronts with large windows at the sidewalk, and open
space amenities), ensuring context sensitive design complementing the most significant historic
structures.A traditional mix of retail,residential,office,and public uses is to be maintained.State Street
should be the focus for the highest intensity of uses in the area(See Figure 6.21).

The highlighted uses above represent the combined uses that are appropriate in the Old Towne Area.
Speak applicability will be dependent uponther ixturtofusesidentifiedinfhesubareatextofthispian.
The partial:tdusion of a land use indicates a limited potential/opportunity for that Land use in the area.
A. Enhance Olde Towne's visibility and its iconic imagery as the heart of the City, it is important that
Old Towne be easily identified and leave a very positive impression on everyone who sees it.It
should look like a place in which one wants to explore, linger,work,and live.
H. Land uses in the Olde Towne area should promote mixed use with retail and commercial
on the first floor and office and residential uses on upper floors.
M. Walkability in the Olde Towne should focus on the historical grid and attached sidewalk system
that provides connectivity throughout the Olde Towne area

C. DISCUSSION:
• The applicant is requesting design review approval to modify the building by adding rooftop patios
for each residential dwelling and updating the colors of the building. The addition of the rooftop
patios increases the height of the building from 29' 3" to 36' 6". The additional 7' 3" is to
accommodate the stair and elevator shafts that will provide access to the rooftop patios. The stair
and elevator shafts are located central to the building. The closest the stair and elevator shafts are
to the perimeter of the building is 8-feet. The height of 36' 6" does not exceed that which is
permitted within the TDA overlay district which permits buildings up to a maximum of 40-feet in
height(ECC 8-2A-6(D)(2)(a)).
In addition to the rooftop patio/stair and elevator shafts, the applicant is requesting approval to
update the colors proposed on the exterior of the building to better emphasize the historic elements
and character of the building by creating greater visual impact with the high contrast between the
white trim, charcoal stucco, and deep rosewood-colored accents. The geometry, style, and
materials(brick, stucco,etc.)remain as originally designed and approved.
Staff defers comment regarding the rooftop patio/stair and elevator shaft and the modification to
the colors on the building to the Design Review Board.
The proposed building should be designed to be harmonious with buildings in the surrounding
vicinity. Pursuant to Eagle City Code 8-2A-13(B)(2)(d)&(e), the proposed building should be
designed to not interfere with the visual character, quality or appearance of the surrounding area
and City, and where possible, enhance the continuity of thematically common architectural
features, and will have facades, features, and other physical improvements that are designed as a
whole, when viewed alone as well as in relationship to surrounding buildings and settings. Staff
defers comment regarding the rooftop patio/stair and elevator shaft and the modification to the
colors on the building to the Design Review Board.
• The applicant is requesting design review approval to modify the streetscape in front of the
proposed building along North 2nd Street. The original approval showed three trees to remain along
the frontage of North 2nd Street and constructing a modified streetscape around the existing trees.
The applicant is requesting approval to remove three existing trees,a 27-inch Sweetgum tree,a 30-
inch Oak trees, and a 28-inch Maple tree, located within the right of way of North 2nd Street to
provide a more formal streetscape with street trees,historic lights,stamped concrete,etc. The trees
are in poor condition because of competing for space,girdling surface roots, split leader,and they
have been topped because of overhead powerlines. The applicant is not proposing any mitigation
for the removal of these trees. Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(C)(1)(a),existing trees
are required to be retained on site unless removal is approved in writing by the City. Pursuant to
Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(C)(2)(c), unless it is determined by the City that replacement is
necessary to preserve and/or restore riparian and wildlife habitat, removal of Willow trees do not
require replacement.Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(C)(2)(a),for each caliper inch of
deciduous tree removed,an equivalent amount of caliper inches is required to be replanted and for
each vertical foot of coniferous tree removed, an equivalent amount of vertical feet is required to
be replanted.
Staff defers comment regarding the removal of the Sweetgum,Oak,and Maple trees to the Design
Review Board.
If the City approves the removal of the Sweetgum, Oak, and Maple trees and does not require
mitigation,no additional trees are required.
-OR-
If the City approves the removal of the Sweetgum, Oak, and Maple trees and does require
mitigation, the applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan showing an
Page 11 of 19
K:\Planning Dept\Bagle Applications\Dr\2014\DR-59-14 MOD 166 N.2nd Street MOD to Streetscape Bldg\Modify streetscape and bldg ccfdocx
additional 85-caliper inches of tree(43,2-inch caliper trees)planted on site. The revised landscape
plan should be reviewed and approved by staff prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate.
-OR-
If the City approves the removal of the Sweetgum, Oak, and Maple trees and does require
mitigation,the applicant may opt to pay an in lieu fee into the tree fund in the amount of$14,875.00
(85-caliper inches x$175.00 per caliper inch). The payment to the tree fund should be received by
the City prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate.
-OR-
Any other combination of planting additional trees on site and/or a contribution to the tree fund as
may be approved by the City. A revised landscape plan and/or contribution to the tree fund should
be reviewed and approved and/or submitted to the City prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate.
• The applicant is proposing to construct a 10-foot wide sidewalk with stamped concrete,street trees
in grates,and historic light fixtures to match the sidewalk improvement within the general vicinity.
The applicant is requesting approval to construct the streetscape improvements pursuant to that
which is specified in the EASD book with red stamped concrete in a running bond pattern with
smooth, gray concrete(as shown below).

In May of 2021, the Eagle Design Review Board recommended approval of a downtown grid
improvement plan specifying specific streetscape types based on the road location. Below is the
map showing the location of the four different streetscape types and a detail showing how the
streetscape is to be constructed. The urban concrete with brick streetscape plan provides a 6-foot
wide concrete sidewalk with 4-foot wide furnishing zone with brick pavers, historic lights, and
street trees.
