How does M3 Eagle conform to the City of Eagle Comprehensive Plan?

The design of the M3 Eagle community was based upon the review of the land use mix found within the Eagle Comprehensive Plan and adapting that mix to the M3 Eagle master plan and land forms. M3 Eagle is planned for a residential density between 0.5 and 1.19 dwelling units per gross acre (3,003-7,153 units), as compared to 1.26 dwelling units per gross acre for the Eagle Comprehensive Plan, and 1.58 dwelling units per gross acre minimum for the Soaring 2025 Western Area Plan Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan adopted by the city last year. The actual residential density of the project will be contingent on the city's approval of a wildlife habitat mitigation plan for the Southern and Southwest Planning Areas, and bonus provisions for community and neighborhood centers, community open space and funding for maintenance of open space. The Eagle City Council's approval of the M3 Eagle Pre-Annexation and Development Agreement provides the residents of Eagle an assurance of the maximum amount of residential development that will occur throughout the build-out of the project.

M3 Eagle is also planned for 245 acres of commercial and mixed use areas which represent 4% of the total property area, 4% less than that contained in the overall Eagle Comprehensive Plan. The property will provide a minimum of 20% open space with an overall goal of 40%. In addition, M3 proposes to provide another 15%, or 880 acres, as regional open space for the benefit of the entire foothills area.
