Item Background: Outback Steakhouse is proposing to enclose their outdoor patio and desires to use the same hardi-plank materials already in place for the restaurant at their existing location. The Non-Residential Architectural Standards limit certain materials, including hard board/hardi-plank, to 75% of the overall façade. Outback Steakhouse has exceeded that limit, as a great majority of the existing façade is hardi-plank, thus the applicant is requesting a variance from the DRB. The applicant is also proposing to add two canopies over the proposed windows to satisfy additional Non-Residential Architectural Standard requirements. Issues/Items for Review: The applicant is requesting an alternate material scheme that is consistent with the following parameters: 1. The applicant is a franchised and/or chain restaurant to be developed as a single detached building (not integrated into a multi-tenant building); and 2. The proposed materials are part of its corporate branding; and 3. The applicant provides all of the alternative materials schemes the chain or franchise has used. Supporting Materials: 1. Location Map 2. Letter from applicant 3.
