NORTHGATE DISTRICT STANDARDS APPEALS/WAIVER REQUEST
1. The following specific alternative to/waiver from the ordinance is requested:
Masonry deficiency of approximately 6.3% & transparency deficiency of 6.5% for Church Street facade.
Trans arenc deficienc of approximate/ 7.1% for the Second Street far;ade.
2. The unnecessary hardship(s) involved by meeting the provisions of the ordinance other than financial hardship
is/are:
This is no room to add more transparency to the front without making structural changes (move/remove steel
beam). Additional brick would look odd without bricking the entire building due to existing archetecture.
3. The following alternatives to the requested appeal/waiver are possible:
The alternative is to do nothing, which would leave the building in it's very dated state that is out of character with
the area as it redevelops.
IN ADDITION, ANSWER THE FOLLOWING AS APPLICABLE (see the Unified Development Ordinance Section 5.6.B
Northgate Districts for more information):
For the substitution of building materials, answer at least one of the following:
1. Describe how the building material is a new or innovative material that has not been previously available to the
market or verify that the material is not listed as an allowed or prohibited material.
2. Explain how the material is similar and comparable in quality and appearance to the allowed materials.
3. Explain how the material is an integral part of a themed building (e.g., chrome on a 1950's-type diner).
For alternative materials on facade work on an existing building, answer the following:
1. Explain why the allowed materials cannot be utilized without a structural alteration to the existing building.
Materials are allowed, but we cannot meet the masonry percentage requirements. Structural alteration is not needed.
2. Provide copies of a letter from a licensed engineer or architect verifying that a structural alteration is required to
apply the permitted facade materials to the building.
Revised 9114 Page 2 of3

For waiver requests to building orientation and access, building transparency, sidewalk width, landscape,
streetscape, and/or height requirements for existing buildings, describe the inherent site characteristics that
constrain the proposed project from meeting ordinance requirements.
Additional transparency (windows or doors) cannot be added to the front of the building without significant structural alteration
For alternative building orientation and access for new buildings or existing building expansions or additions,

The applicant is requesting to reduce the amount of building
transparency on the facade facing Church Avenue. A table
below provides a summary of the material requirements in

Rough Draught is a new bar that is locating in an existing
building in Northgate. The applicant began the permitting
process by submitting building plans for the proposed
renovation. This led to a Northgate Building Review
application and review by Staff. The renovations proposed
provide changes to exterior finishes that provide an updated
aesthetic, which compliments the work done throughout the
rest of the Northgate District. When revising an existing
building, it is subject to the current architectural
requirements . As provide in the attached letter, the applicant
is requesting a waiver to the full building transparency
requirement due to a structural limitation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the request to reduce the
building transparency requirement from 50% for the
fac;ade facing Church Avenue to 43.5%.

1. The following specific alternative to/waiver from the ordinance is requested:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Transparenc deficienc of approximate/ 7. 1 % for the Second Street far,;ade. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2. The unnecessary hardship(s) involved by meeting the provisions of the ordinance other than financial hardship
is/are:

the area as it redevelops.
IN ADDITION, ANSWER THE FOLLOWING AS APPLICABLE (see the Unified Development Ordinance Section 5.6.B
Northgate Districts for more information):
For the substitution of building materials, answer at least one of the following:
1. Describe how the building material is a new or innovative material that has not been previously available to the
market or verify that the material is not listed as an allowed or prohibited material.
2. Explain how the material is similar and comparable in quality and appearance to the allowed materials.
3. Explain how the material is an integral part of a themed building (e.g., chrome on a 1950's-type diner).
For alternative materials on facade work on an existing building, answer the following:
2. Provide copies of a letter from a licensed engineer or architect verifying that a structural alteration is required to
apply the permitted facade materials to the building.
Revised 9/14 Page 2 of3
For waiver requests to building orientation and access, building transparency, sidewalk width, landscape,
streetscape, and/or height requirements for existing buildings, describe the inherent site characteristics that
constrain the proposed project from meeting ordinance requirements.
Additional transparency (windows or doors) cannot be added to the front of the building without significant structural alteration
For alternative building orientation and access for new buildings or existing building expansions or additions,
answer at least one of the following:
1. Describe the physical characteristics that limit the site from meeting ordinance requirements.
2. Describe the physical characteristics that provide unique orientation and access opportunities.
