• On July 14, 2009, the City Council approved the common area landscaping within Eagle Island
Marketplace,including Fred Meyer and eight multi-tenant retail/restaurant buildings(including pad
15, 16,and 17 of this site).The Fred Meyer building and five multi-tenant retail/restaurant buildings
have since been constructed. The applicant is requesting design review approval to modify the
previously approved building elevations for the last three retail buildings (including a veterinary
clinic and restaurant)that appear as one building.
The original approval included buildings with a combination of Italianate, Romanesque, and
Mediterranean architectural styles.The buildings included arched entries,windows,trellis accents,
awnings, green screens, horizontal and vertical building undulations, etc. to help break up the
massing of the building and provide a harmonious look with the other buildings in the shopping
center.

The applicant is requesting design review approval to construct a 60,050-square foot retail building.
The applicant's justification letter states that the proposed building is designed to meet the
Mediterranean style of architecture with a Romanesque Revival influence which are two of the nine
architectural styles within the Eagle Architecture and Site Design book. The building facade
emulates the massing and pedestrian scale of the adjacent structures. The prominent corner facing
the adjacent development to the north has been enhanced with brick stamped concrete panels and
wood trellises. The primary masonry stamped panel and pilaster motif continues around the
remainder of the building to provide a cohesive look and a friendly façade for the neighbors. Staff
defers comment regarding the building design,materials,and colors 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 of the proposed building regarding the harmonious nature and relationship of the
building to the surrounding vicinity to the Design Review Board.
• Sheet A2 shows the height of the building from finished floor to the highest point of the building
at 35-feet, I 1/2-inches.Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-2-4,the maximum building height is
35-feet. Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-1-2, building height is the vertical distance
measured from the average elevation of the proposed finished grade at the front of the building to
the highest point.The applicant should be required to provide revised building elevations showing
the maximum height of the building not to exceed 35-feet as measured from the proposed finished
