the approval of a design review application within the MU-DA (Mixed Use with a development
agreement) zoning district;

ingress/egress to the site and will serve the intended use so as to not cause conflict with adjacent
uses as anticipated within the zoning district since the site has been designed with onsite parking;

and where possible, enhance the continuity of thematically common architectural features since the
building has been designed to meet the Craftsman architectural style;

viewed alone as well as in relationship to surrounding buildings and settings since the building is
designed to be harmonious with other surrounding buildings;

considerations since the building does not exceed the 35-feet permitted within Eagle City Code;

patterned traffic circulation and connectivity to abutting development since the site has sidewalks
that provide access to the building and other future buildings within the vicinity;

walkable environment in balance with protecting a viable commercial center in the area; and
H. As approved with design review application DR-2025-49, all signs will be required to be
harmonious with the architectural design of the building and will not cover nor detract from
desirable architectural features.
