and distinctive, compatible with its surroundings, and an integral component of the style and
character of the building to which it relates.
B. ZONING CODE PROVISIONS WIllCH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING TillS
PROPOSAL:
.
.
Section 8-2A-2(B)
The general theme of the Design Review Overlay District is to encourage the use of American
Northwest and 1870 through 1930 architectural styles and the use of those materials, graphics
and architectural designs set forth in the DR chapter.
.
Section 8-2A-6(A)(4)
Signage for any project shall provide for business identification and minimize clutter and
confusion on and off the site.
.
Section 8-2A-6(A)(4)(c)
Signs are to provide effective and necessary business identification systems adapted to the
building design.
.
Section 8-2A-6(A)(4)(e)
The size, location, design, color, texture, lighting, landscaping, and hours of operations of all
permanent signs and outdoor advertising structures or features shall not detract from the
function of, or design of, buildings, structures, surrounding properties, neighborhoods, or
streets.

.
Section 8-2A-8(K)(1)
No signs shall be erected or maintained in any district as established by the Zoning Ordinance
except those signs specifically enumerated in this Chapter. The number and area of signs as
outlined in this Chapter are intended to be maximum standards which do not necessarily
ensure architectural compatibility. Therefore, in addition to the enumerated standards,
consideration shall be given to a sign's relationship to the overall appearance of the subject
property as well as the surrounding community. Compatible design, simplicity and sign
effectiveness are to be used in establishing guidelines for sign approval.
.
Section 8-2A-8(C)(5)
Sign materials and overall appearance shall compliment with the building architecture and
colors as determined by the Design Review Board.
.
Section 8-2A-8(D)(2)
A freestanding single tenant building, not in a shopping center, shall be permitted to construct,
erect and maintain one monument sign per street that it abuts to identify the business to which
it pertains. The height of any such sign, including the base to which it is attached, shall not
exceed eight feet (8'). The exposed surface of any such sign shall not exceed fifty (50) square
feet per exposed surface except that the exposed surface of any such sign within forty feet (40')
of a building shall not exceed six feet (6') in height and thirty (30) square feet per exposed
surface.
.
Section 8-2A-8(E)(1)
The design review board must find that any internally illuminated sign which may be
permitted under the specific regulations within this chapter shall be designed such that
brightness levels shall be controlled to assure a soft subtle effective light in accordance with
other city regulations intended to create and maintain the American northwest 1870s' to 1930s'
architectural appeal. A maximum of 430 milliamps may be permitted for any internally
illuminated sign subject to design review board approval.
C. DISCUSSION:
.
The applicant is proposing to construct a six foot (6') high monument sign located twenty feet
(20') southeast of the southeast corner of the building. The base of the monument sign is to be
constructed of cultured stone so as to match the cultured stone wainscoting on the building, while
the rest of the sign is to be constructed of aluminum painted to match the colors of the building.
Eagle City Code requires that sign materials and overall appearance compliment the building
architecture and colors. In addition, the City of Eagle 2000 Comprehensive Plan requires that
signage protect and enhance the small town character of the City while requiring signage to be
creative, distinctive, compatible with the surrounding area, and an integral component of the style
and character of the building to which it relates. It is staff s opinion that the architectural style of
the sign does not compliment the building architecture or enhance the small town character of the
City. The applicant should be required to provide revised elevations of the monument sign
showing additional architectural character by the use of columns, gable ends, and materials so as to
compliment the architecture of the building. The revised elevations should be reviewed and
approved by the Design Review Board prior to the City accepting any sign permits for this site.
Staff defers comment regarding design and color of all proposed signs to the Design Review
Board.
