D. DISCUSSION:
.
.
.
On April 9, 2002, the Eagle City Council reviewed and approved the annexation and rezone
application for this site (A-I-02 and RZ-I-02). However, on April 9, 2002, the Eagle City
Council continued the approval of the conditional use application (CU -1-02) for the church use
in the R-E zone and the height exception of a fifty foot (50') high cross until the Design Review
Board has been able to review the height of the cross in relation to the overall construction of the
church facility. As stated in a letter from the company representing the applicant, dated April 11,
2002, the applicant has decided to not propose a cross over the thirty five foot (35') limit.
A twenty five foot (25') wide landscape buffer is proposed to be constructed between the right-
of-way of Park Lane and the proposed parking lot. The applicant has proposed four (4)
evergreen trees and three (3) flowering trees within this two hundred and thirty (230) linear feet
of frontage. Per Eagle City Code, a minimum of one shade tree and ten (10) shrubs per thirty
five (35) linear feet of frontage is required. For design flexibility, half of the required shade
trees may be substituted on a two to one (2:1) basis with ornamental and evergreen trees. The
applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan showing a minimum of one
shade tree and ten (10) shrubs per thirty five (35) linear feet of frontage. If the applicant desires
half the required shade trees may be substituted on a two to one (2: 1) basis with ornamental and
evergreen trees. The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff and one
member of the Design Review Board prior to issuance of a building permit.
A twenty foot (20') wide landscape buffer is proposed to be constructed between the right-of-
way of Floating Feather Road and the proposed parking lot. The applicant has proposed four (4)
evergreen trees and three (3) flowering trees with this three hundred and sixty (360) linear feet of
frontage. Per Eagle City Code, a minimum of one shade tree and ten (10) shrubs per thirty five
(35) linear feet of frontage is required. For design flexibility, half of the required shade trees
may be substituted on a two to one (2: 1) basis with ornamental and evergreen trees. The
applicant should be require to provide a revised landscape plan showing a minimum of one shade
tree and ten (10) shrubs per thirty five (35) linear feet of frontage. If the applicant desires half
the required shade trees may be substituted on a two to one (2: 1) basis with ornamental and
evergreen trees. The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff and one
member of the Design Review Board prior to issuance of a building permit.
.
.
.
On both Park Lane and Floating Feather Road the applicant has shown a twelve foot (12') wide
gravel shoulder between the landscaping and the edge of pavement. In past action by the Eagle
City Council, the landscape buffer was required to be extended to within nine feet (9') from the
edge of pavement. The nine feet (9') between the landscaping and edge of pavement along the
entire frontage of this site should be graveled as approved by the ACHD. The gravel shoulder
area should be maintained and kept free of weeds and debris.
A picture of a shoebox light fixture not to exceed 20- feet in height has been submitted with this
application. However, the type of luminaries and wattage of the fixtures has not been specified.
The applicant should be required to provide a site and parking lot light plan showing location,
height, and wattage. The site and parking lot lighting plan should be reviewed and approved by

the Zoning Administrator prior to issuance of any building permits.
The applicant has indicated that five hundred (500) seats will be constructed with phase one and
two of this church facility, therefore, one hundred (100) parking spaces are required. With the
completion of phase three an additional nine hundred (900) seats are proposed to be constructed,
therefore, an additional one hundred and eighty (180) parking spaces are required. A total of two
hundred and eighty (280) parking spaces are required to be constructed by the completion of
phase three of this church facility. The applicant shows one hundred and twenty seven (127)

should be removed from the site no later than April 23, 2007 (per the approval of the rezone for
the site).
.

The applicant has submitted a landscape plan that shows the landscape improvements abutting
phases one and two of the proposed church facility. However, the applicant has not indicated
any landscape improvements for the remaining two hundred and forty (240) linear feet on
Floating Feather between the east property line and the "Future Main Entrance". No landscape

2. Notice of Public Hearing on the application for the Eagle Design Review Board was published in
accordance with Eagle City Code on April 24, 2002. Notice of this public hearing was mailed to
property owners within three-hundred feet (300-feet) of the subject property in accordance with the
requirements of Eagle City Code on April 19, 2002. Requests for agencies' reviews were transmitted
on April 19, 2002 in accordance with the requirements of the Eagle City Code.
3. The Board reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed design review
application (DR-30-02) with regard to the Eagle City Code Title 8, Chapter 2, Article A. DR Design
Review Overlay District, and based upon the information provided with the conditions required
herein, concludes that the proposed design review application is in accordance with the Eagle City
Code and the Eagle Comprehensive Plan.
4. The Board recognizes per Eagle City Code, the applicant is required to provide a ten foot (10') wide
landscape buffer with a five foot (5') wide concrete sidewalk along the entire road frontage of
Floating Feather Road. In lieu of the ten foot (10') wide landscape buffer along Floating Feather
Road (from the entrance on Floating Feather Road to the east property line) the Board has required
the applicant to provide a five foot (5') wide meandering asphalt pathway and a useable play area to
the east of the proposed church facility to be graded, landscaped with grass, watered with an
automatic underground irrigation system and maintained.

Page 13 of 14

proposed to be planted on the east side of the main sidewalk to the entry. The Board has indicated
that the similar look that the applicant is proposing on the landscape plan will not be achieved due to
the plant material being planted at different times. The Board has required a revised landscape plan
and time line addressing the proposed plant material to provide a balanced look within the courtyard
regarding the plant growth.
