CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
1. The Commission reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of the proposed conditional use
(CU-2024-04) in terms of Eagle City Code Section 8-7-3-2, "General Standards For Conditional
Uses"and has concluded that the proposed conditional uses:
A. Will, in fact, constitute a conditional use as established in Eagle City Code Section 8-2-3
since a personal wireless facility may be permitted within the C-3 zoning district with the
approval of a conditional use permit;
B. Will be harmonious with and in accordance with the general objectives or with any specific
objective of the Comprehensive Plan and/or this title (Eagle City Code Title 8), with the
conditions provided herein, since the site is designated as Commercial within the
Comprehensive Plan and a personal wireless facility may be permitted with the approval of a
conditional use permit within the C-3 zoning designation. Furthermore, the proposed facility
will be camouflaged and concealed by the existing building and will therefore not be
incompatible with the surrounding buildings within the City's scenic corridor;
C. Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to be harmonious and appropriate in
appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and that such use
will not change the essential character of the same area, since the antennas are required to be
designed to match the color and texture of the existing building, the equipment is required to
be concealed from view behind the parapet wall, and the designs of the antennas and
equipment are required to be reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board and City
Council;
D. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighborhood uses, since the
personal wireless facility will be attached to the existing Pet IQ building, and all equipment
will be concealed from view;
E. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities such as highways, streets, police and
fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer and schools; or that the
persons or agencies responsible for the establishment of the proposed use shall be able to
provide adequately any such services, as noted in the documentation provided from said
agencies and as required as a part of the conditions of approval. The site is equipped with
proper drainage facilities that will adequately manage runoff and refuse disposal will not be
impacted as the facility will not generate waste requiring special handling. The site is
currently, and will continue to be, served by the Eagle Police Department, Eagle Fire
Department, Eagle Sewer District, and Veolia Water;
F. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities and
services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community, since the
applicant will bear all costs of development;

K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\CU\2024\CUP-2024-04 Pet IQ Verizon Site East Shore\Working Files\CUP-2024-04 Pet IQ Verizon Wireless-Findings PZ.doc
Page 10 of 11
G. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation
that will be detrimental to any persons,property or the general welfare by reason of excessive
production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors, since the transportation system has
been found to be adequate by the ACHD and since the proposed personal wireless facility is
not expected to generate any noise, smoke, fumes,glare or odors;
H. Will have vehicular approaches to the property which are designed as not to create an
interference with traffic on surrounding public thoroughfares as approved by the ACHD,
since all vehicular approaches have already been developed and approved by ACHD and the
proposed facility will not generate significant traffic;and
I. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of
major importance, since no natural, scenic, or historic features exist on site.
4. Failure to comply with all provisions and any condition of approval of this conditional use permit
may result in a compliance hearing in front of the City Council at which time the Council may add
conditions to the permit,modify existing permit conditions, or revoke all or part of the permit.
