Re Design Review Board Variance request–Existing Texas Roadhouse
Dear Design Review Board Members:
I respectfully ask for your consideration of a variance request to Section 7.9, NRA Requirements. The owners of Texas
Roadhouse would like to increase the dining room by approximately 395 square feet. The desired addition would require
exterior alterations to the existing building. Per Unified Development Ordinance regulations for Non-Residential Articulation,
the NRA plan review was denied by city staff because the proposed addition does not currently meet the following Non-
Residential Architectural Standards:
1. No more than 30%of the addition may be covered by cedar siding(The entire existing building is cedar siding and
cedar trim)
2. There needs to be at least 10%stone or brick material on the addition (No brick was used on the existing building)
3. There must be at least two architectural elements(Section 7.9.8.2) per 45 linear feet of facade facing University
Drive, and two elements for every 60 linear feet(or less)of the facade
a. Eastern elevation-Texas Roadhouse requests consideration of thepumo-out in the addition as a projection
of the total eastern elevation. Additionally,the windows that accompany the projection could be considered
the second element
b. University Drive elevation (front elevation)–Texas Roadhouse has designed the expansion of the dining
room to match the existing structure. Further revisions to the elevation would draw attention to this part of
the building. The intent of the structural alterations is to create a blend with the existing structure.
It should also be noted that Texas Roadhouse is a chain restaurant. Furthermore,the original building was constructed in
2000 using colors/materials that are part of its corporate branding. I have included photos of existing buildings built during the
same time to demonstrate the national prototype image and theme, as well as colors and materials.
Thank you for your consideration of this request. If you need additional information, please advise.
Sincerely,
de/ANII-1(--)
Angelina Robinson

variance request
CC: "Angel Robinson" , "Kurt Overmyer"
Attachments: "Angel Robinson" , "Kurt Overmyer"
Jennifer,
On behalf of Texas Roadhouse, we respectfully request a variance to the required architectural design elements
as part of the City's UDO. The following two design elements per building elevation are proposed for the scope of
the addition to the existing restaurant:
The Front Elevation, facing University Drive East, is approximately 29'-8" long. The proposed design elements for
the Front Elevation (South) are:
1) Windows accompanied by overhang—see A3(one window)with a typical roofleave projection of
18".
2) Hip, metal roof—see A3, provides a change in roof profile due to roof slope.
The Side Elevation, facing east and a parking field, is approximately 15'-8" long. The proposed design elements
for the Side Elevation (East)are:
1) Windows accompanied by overhang—see A3 (two windows)with a typical roofleave projection of
18".
2) Wall plane projections or recessions with a minimum of four foot (4') depth—see Al, addition proposes
6'-4" plane projection.
Please confirm your receipt of this message and placement on the DRB agenda for 06/27. Thank you again for
your help in this matter.
Sincerely,
Kurt E.Overmyer,RA
