WOLF PEN CREEK AMPITHEATER (DRB) — DESIGN DISTRICT REVIEW
Location: Colgate Drive
Applicant: Ric Ploeger, Assistant Director of Parks & Recreation Department
Item Summary: The proposal is an expansion to the Wolf Pen Amphitheater that
includes offices, a permanent concession area and a Green Room. This item is for
review of materials, colors, and elevations only. The site plan, landscape plan, and
other design elements on site will be submitted for review by the Design Review Board
at a later date.
The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following information related to
elevations, colors, and materials to aid the Design Review Board's Decision:
Elevations:
• The height and scale of each building shall be compatible with its site and
existing (or anticipated) adjoining buildings.
• Harmony in texture, lines, and masses is required. Monotony shall be avoided.
• Architectural style is not restricted. Evaluation of the appearance of a project
shall be based on the quality of its design and relationship to surroundings.
• Buildings shall have good scale and be in harmonious conformance with
permanent neighboring development.
• Building components, such as windows, doors, eaves, and parapets, shall have
good proportions and relationships to one another.
• Monotony of design in single or multiple building projects shall be avoided.
Variation of detail and form shall be used to provide visual interest.
Colors:
• Colors shall be harmonious and shall use only compatible accents.
Materials:
• Materials shall be selected for harmony of the building with adjoining buildings.
• Materials shall be selected for suitability to the type of buildings and the design in
which they are used. Buildings shall use the same materials, or those that are
architecturally harmonious, for all building walls and other exterior building
components wholly or partly visible from public ways.
• Materials shall be of durable quality.
Administrator Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the amphitheater
addition as presented.
