Design Review Board approves Aspen Point Plaza with conditions on materials and screening
Summary
The City of Eagle Design Review Board approved a two-building commercial project (Aspen Point Plaza) with conditions including a revised facade plan maintaining a 25% planar change, screening requirements for mechanical equipment, a required lot-line adjustment, and submission of material samples to staff and board reviewers.
The City of Eagle Design Review Board on June 11, 2026, approved DR20 26 34, the two-building Aspen Point Plaza commercial project, subject to staff site-specific conditions and additional board requirements for materials and screening. The vote followed a presentation by applicant Mark Butler and technical answers from architect Chad Jones.
Mark Butler, speaking for the applicant, summarized project history and changes from the prior submittal and said, “Only 1 thing has changed, and I'll show you what that is.” Staff noted the project consists of two parcels, a lot-line adjustment will be required before a zoning certificate is issued, and Ada County Highway District had already approved the proposed access point.
Architect Chad Jones explained elevation and material choices to the board and confirmed the façade in question is a single continuous plane: “It is 1 continuous wall.” Board members and staff pressed for revisions to avoid a vertical mid-plane split on a single plane and to ensure a minimum 25% planar change if stucco is used, or to provide additional materials to meet the standard.
Barb Williams, planning staff, told the board that overhead power to the site will be removed and summarized staff conditions, including the lot-line adjustment requirement and the planar-change standard. The board required that condition 12 be revised so elevations use two different material types or provide an alternate facade scheme that preserves at least 25% planar change; the amended condition also directs that revised materials be reviewed by two board members and one staff member. The board also required the applicant to provide material samples with correct colors and finish for review by one board member and staff prior to final sign-off.
The board voted to approve the application with the amended condition. Chair called the motion and, after a second and further discussion about materials and screening, the motion carried.
