Costco Abandons Plans for Eagle Location
The proposed Costco store planned for the intersection of Highway 55 and Hill Road in Eagle will not move forward, following the company’s decision to withdraw its application in October. The change was confirmed by Eagle Planning and Zoning Administrator Daniel Miller, who stated, "On October 16th, Costco did email me here at the city and let me know that they did formally withdraw their application."
Attention Turns to Quarry Village
With Costco’s departure, the focus for the 27-acre site has returned to Quarry Village, a mixed-use development initially approved in 2021. The Eagle City Council recently provided a three-year extension of the project’s development agreement, enabling the property owner to further evaluate their options while retaining existing entitlements. The extension does not authorize immediate construction, but it keeps the proposal viable as further planning occurs.
Mixed-Use Development Plan Adjustments
Quarry Village is planned as a combination of commercial, office, and retail space, along with open space and various types of residential development—potentially including multifamily housing, condominiums, and senior living. Under the newly approved extension, changes to the original agreement include reducing maximum building heights from 60 to 50 feet and specifying placement and height limits for any proposed parking structure near Hill Road.
Ongoing Traffic Study and Local Opinions
Before proceeding, the developer must address transportation impacts in cooperation with local agencies. Daniel Miller explained that preliminary studies and consultations with transportation professionals are underway. Dan Thompson, a local resident and retired traffic engineer who previously contributed to traffic studies for the property, emphasized the importance of mitigating any transportation impacts generated by future development. "They're not gonna get a big development in there. I don't think they can physically do it, but they would have to mitigate their impacts from the traffic they generate," Thompson commented.
He also noted the importance of intersection improvements, stating, "I do know their ACHD would like a roundabout at the hill and Horseshoe Bend, and I would love that no matter what goes in there." Opinions vary among neighbors about potential uses for the property, but Thompson noted that its proximity to developed areas makes future development likely.
Next Steps for the 27-Acre Property
The extension granted by the city council preserves Quarry Village's entitlements while allowing for further planning, studies, and public input. Future construction will require completion of outstanding requirements, including transportation assessments and potential design updates. Eagle community members continue to watch developments closely as the property’s future is determined by ongoing city processes and property owner decisions.
