The EAGLE Board has been created to work constructively with applicants in order to approve proposed EAGLE checklists, mitigation measures and associated points based on the City’s EAGLE Program.  The Board makes findings to the Community Development Director and staff, which will incorporate the Board’s decision into subsequent staff approvals, if applicable.

The Board has the final say on EAGLE-related elements, but does not recommend approval or denial of specific projects.  Because of this, the board has been instructed to work with applicants to find a path to approval, either by seeking flexibility in the EAGLE indicators, by requiring additional effort on the part of the applicant, or both.  The EAGLE Board approaches their review from a standpoint of collaboration and discussion with the applicant, rather than reviews behind closed doors.  Staff supports the EAGLE Board in their role, and provides a staff report and staff recommendations to the board prior to each review
