A.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN
REGARDING TillS PROPOSAL:
Chapter 5 - Economic Development
a.
Implementation Strategies
f.
New commercial development outside of the Central Business District
should complement the Central Business District and Eagle's rural
identity.
g.
Encourage commercial growth adjacent to the Central Business District
and discourage isolated commercial development in outlying areas.
1.
Excessively large single entity businesses that would jeopardize the
competitive business environment should be discouraged.
Chapter 6 - Land Use
b.
Implementation Strategies
f.
Higher density residential development should be located closest to the
Central Business District (CBD) as shown on the Comprehensive Plan
Land Use Map.
1.
Protect gravity flow irrigation systems including canals, laterals and
ditches to assure continued delivery of irrigation water to all land serviced
by such systems, to protect irrigation systems as a long range economical
method for water delivery and to coordinate surface water drainage to be
compatible with irrigation systems.
Chapter 7 - Natural Resources and Hazard Areas
c.
Goal
Special concern and attention should be given to the preservation of fish, wildlife,
water resources, air quality, agriculture, open space and recreation-nature areas
when implementing planning and zoning decisions.
Chapter 12 - Community Design
d.
Goal

e.
Entry Corridors
Entryway corridors are arterial roadways that introduce both visitors and residents
to Eagle. City entryways include State Highways 44 (State Street and Alternate
Route) and 55 (Eagle Road). These entrances with their landscaping (or lack
thereof), commercial signage and building character provide the first, and often
times the most lasting impressions of the entire community. The City of Eagle
has the responsibility to guide development and redevelopment that occurs along
these entryway corridors.
f.
Implementation Strategies
f.
Excessively large single entity businesses that would jeopardize the
competitive environment should be discouraged.
Encourage the preservation of natural resources such as creeks, drainages,
steep slopes and ridgelines as visual amenities.

B.
ZONING ORDINANCE PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN
REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL:
. ECC Section 8-2A-6 (1)
Site Design Objectives: The site plan design shall minimize impact of traffic on
adjacent streets, provide for the pedestrian, and provide appropriate, safe parking
lot design. Special review items should include:
a. The functional relationship of the structures and the site in relation to its
surroundings;
c. The site layout with respect to separation or integration of vehicular,
pedestrian and bicycle traffic patterns;
e. The location, arrangement and dimensions of truck loading ramps,
docks, and bays and vehicle service facilities;
l. The provision of safe pedestrian and bicycle connections between
neighborhoods and commercial areas.
c.
SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN
REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL:
ECC 9-4-1-10 (1) Natural or improved open channel drainageways shall be
preserved or provided for in major waterways; except, that at road crossings,
conduits may be permitted. Minor waterways shall be permitted to be enclosed in
conduits.
D.
DISCUSSION:
.
The applicant is proposing a "driveway" to connect from the proposed round-
about on Hill Road and extending to the eastern boundary line to match the
Page 7 of 16
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2000\Trol1ey Square pzf.doc
existing Academy Way stub street. The applicant is not requesting a private road,
(that staff is aware of) nor does the plat identify a driveway, easement or lot
permitting access to the public roads. ECC 9-3-2-5 (A) (6) states that no private
road shall connect one public street to another. In addition, a driveway, easement
or through lot would effectively function as a public road, connecting two public
rights-of-way. Therefore, the applicant should dedicate sufficient right-of-way to
provide a public road connecting Academy Way and Hill Road. If the City
Council determines that a thru-street connection is not needed to connect to
Academy way, then the applicant shall dedicate sufficient right-of-way to provide
an ACHD approved turn around at the western terminus of Academy Way.
. The proposed lot 14, block 3 appears to be intended for an easement for interior
parcels to gain access to the public streets. Also, the applicant should place a note
on the final plat stating that Lot 14, Block 3, shall be for the purpose of public
ingress/egress to the public streets for all abutting parcels.
2. Staff will provide detailed discussion regarding this proposed development during the
oral presentation at the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council meetings.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT:
Staff recommends approval with the site specific conditions of approval and the standard
conditions of approval provided below.

public streets.
