B. ZONING CODE PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS
PROPOSAL:
• Eagle City Code Section 8-2-3: SCHEDULE OF DISTRICT USE REGULATIONS:
Land Uses Districts
�•�: R L-O C-A C. C-3
'Equipment renla and sales
• 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.
C. DISCUSSION:
• On March 9,2017,the Design Review Board approved a design review application DR-03-03
MOD)to modify site specific condition of approval#3 established with the approval of DR-03-03
to permit product storage and outdoor sales within the parking lot. This application supersedes the
approval of DR-03-03 MOD and DR-03-03 MOD is considered void. However,this modification
does not supersede the original design review approval for this site(DR-03-03)and all conditions
of approval contained therein remain applicable unless specifically modified herein.
• The applicant is requesting design review approval to change the use to include"equipment rental
and sales yard"to accommodate the rental of moving trucks and modify the parking area to
designate areas for product storage,outdoor sales and displays,and equipment rentals. The
applicant's justification letter, date stamped by the City on January 26,2024, identifies the
following parking spaces and locations for product storage,outdoor sales,and equipment rentals:
• 12-parking spaces for a garden shed display area(located on the south side of the building
centered in the parking lot).
Page 5 of 11
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Dr\2003\Home Depot Site Mod to incl.Equipment Rental DR-03-03 MOD2\Home Depot Site Mod Findings DR.docx
• 2-parking spaces for a sod hut(located on the south side of the building and the closest
location to the front of the Garden Center).
• 10-parking spaces for live goods shipping crates(located on the north side of the building).
• 20-parking spaces for garden product storage(located on the west side of the building).
• 6-parking spaces for equipment rental [moving trucks] (located on the north side of the
building).
• Outdoor sales and display and compact power equipment rental areas(located at the southeast
corner of the building on the south side of the building).
The applicant is not proposing any other modifications to the site. Staff defers comment regarding
the product storage,outdoor sales area, and equipment rental areas to the Design Review Board.
• The equipment rental of compact power tools, owned and maintained by Home Depot, is separate
from the equipment rental of moving trucks(Penske)and is permitted to be displayed in the
location as noted on the site plan adjacent to the building near the southeast corner of the
building.
• The Home Depot site is required to have 507-parking spaces. Currently the site has 563-parking
spaces. The applicant is proposing to designate 50-parking spaces for product storage and outdoor
sales. This reduction will leave the site with 513-parking spaces which exceeds the minimum
507-spaces required for the site.

Based upon the information provided to staff to date,if the requested design review application is approved,
staff recommends the site specific conditions of approval and standard conditions of approval provided
