SUBJECT: Proposed Wolf Pen Creek Park Restroom Facility
Item:
Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding a site plan and building elevation
options for a Wolf Pen Creek Park Restroom facility, generally located at 2210 Colgate Drive in
the Wolf Pen Creek District. Case#15-00900049
Summary:
The Parks & Recreation Department submitted an application to construct a restroom facility in
the festival site area of Wolf Pen Creek Park near Colgate Drive. As per the Unified
Development Ordinance (UDO), the Design Review Board (DRB) has the final authority
regarding proposed site, building design, and signage in the WPC Wolf Pen Creek Design
District. The DRB considered the restroom facility at the February 27, 2015 meeting and denied
the request due to concerns regarding the nature of the design of the building.
The Parks & Recreation Department has requested that the DRB consider three new design
alternatives related to the restroom facility. Please refer to the attached documents, including
the presentation that will be provided at the meeting that contains additional background,
context of the site and other existing buildings, and the three design alternatives with
description.

ITEM SUMMARY: The City of College Station Parks & Recreation Department has proposed a
382 square-foot restroom building in the Wolf Pen Creek Park adjacent to the festival site area
that was developed in recent years. As the proposed building is located in the Wolf Pen Creek
zoning district, the Design Review Board is required to approve the site plan and building
elevations.
REVIEW CRITERIA:
The proposal meets the minimum technical requirements of the Unified Development
Ordinance (UDO). In accordance with the UDO, the Design Review Board shall evaluate the
site plan and building elevations according to the following criteria:
1. Relationship of building to site: The proposed restroom is a one story, 382 square-
foot building with a pitched roof reaching 11 feet and 9 inches in height. It is being
located in the Wolf Pen Creek festival site area on the Colgate Drive side of the drive
aisle.
2. Relationship of building and site to adjoining area: The restroom building is oriented
toward the festival site area and is of small scale, similar to other buildings in Wolf Pen
Creek Park. The building will be connected to the existing sidewalk on the other side of
the drive aisle through pedestrian ramps and sidewalks connections.
3. Building design: The building is comprised of split face block and a standing seam
metal roof with fiber cement, lap siding on the gable wall above the wall cap. Neutral
colors are proposed with the split face block and lap siding being painted a tan color
(Kelly Moore, 301 Oakwood), a brown metal roof, and painted brown fascia, wall cap,
and exterior soffits (Kelly Moore, 159 Sequoia Brown). This pre-fabricated building is
similar to the restroom facility constructed last year in Brian Bachmann Community Park
near the G. Hysmith Skate Park facility.
In relation to the non-residential architectural standards, the building is less than 25 feet
by 25 feet so it is not required to have architectural elements. Also, due to the small size
of the building, a minimum brick/stone requirement does not apply.
4. Landscaping: Landscaping is already provided in this area with the development of the
festival site as approved by the Design Review in 2010.
SUPPORTING MATERIALS:
1. Application
2. Site Plan
3. Building Elevations
4. Color and Material Samples (provided at the meeting)
