HomeMy WebLinkAboutstaff report AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Presentation, possible action and discussion on a variance to the Non-Residential Architectural color palette for Popeye's Chicken located at 1842 Graham Road (CH 06-500033). Staff Planner Crissy Hartl presented the staff report stating that the applicant is requesting to implement a color scheme for each of the façades that are not on the approved color palette. Ms. Hartl explained that Popeye's Chicken is proposing to construct a new, freestanding location near the corner of Graham Road and SH 6. As a part of the Non-Residential Architectural Standards, the applicant is required to use colors from the approved color palette. The proposed main color of the restaurant does not match an approved color; therefore the applicant has requested a variance. The color scheme proposed has been confirmed by staff to be the only color scheme used by the franchise. The proposed color scheme would be applied to EIFS material on all facades. Section 7.9 of the Unified Development Ordinance requires that "all building facades and roofs shall consist of only colors from the color palette approved by the City Council as amended by the Design Review Board". The applicant is requesting an alternate color 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 colors/materials are part of its corporate branding; and 3. The applicant provides all of the alternative color/materials schemes the chain or franchise has used. The Design Review Board may grant a variance from the standards contained in Section 7.9 of up to 75% of the total percentage permitted. Mr. King motioned to approve the variance as proposed; Mr. Heaney seconded the motion which passed unopposed(4-0).
