AGENDA ITEM NO.4: Discussion, consideration and possible action on the
addition of a walk-in cooler and fa~ade changes for Zapata's Cantina expansion at
215 University Drive West in Northgate. (04-31 JP).
Planning Intern Lauren Harrell presented the staff report. She told the Board that the
applicant is proposing to open the old Bill's Barbershop as a bar. The existing front
entrance will be closed to public access and will be for employee use only. The exiting
windows will be "blacked out". Two additional doorways leading to the patio on the
west side of the bar are proposed.
Staff suggests that it may be possible to redesign the interior bar area so that the existing
front entrance and windows can retain their original function,
The applicant is also proposing the addition of a walk-in cooler on the east side of the
proposed bar located between the bar and Shadow Canyon Nightclub, behind the existing
iron fence. The applicant is proposing to apply a cedar plank fayade and a Spanish tile
roofto the cooler. '
Staff suggests that it may be more aesthetically pleasing to require that the walk-in cooler
be located behind the permanent structure so that it is not visible from University Drive
or require that the cooler be screened from University Drive by tall, dense shrubbery
behind the iron fence. The Northgate Design Guidelines suggest that color and design be
consistent with the surrounding block or area. The Guidelines also suggest masonry
(stone or brick) and that other materials be similar in character to those used in other
areas of NG-l. The Guidelines also state, there where wood is used, it should be
protected by a water sealant.
The applicant is not proposing any other fayade changes or signs at this time.
Mr. Benning made the motion to approve the proposed location of the walk-in cooler,
finish it with eMU painted to match the existing building instead of proposed cedar
planks and the last 6-8-feet after the cooler must be landscaped to screen the area. Mr.
King seconded the motion, which passed unopposed (4-0).
Mr. McLean asked the applicants to make sure the condensate line for the cooler is
placed in the sewer system.
Mr. King made the motion that the front entrance on University remain in the fafade
but not used as an entrance. The windows may not be "blacked out" as proposed, they
must be designed with displays and some visual penetration into the bar. This may be
approved at staff level as long as the proposal meets the recommendations. Mr. McLean
seconded the motion, which passed unopposed (4-0).
AGENDA ITEM NO.5:
Discussion and consideration of future agenda items.
There were no items discussed.
AGENDA ITEM NO.6:
Adjourn.
Mr. King made the motion to adjourn. Mr. Benning seconded the motion, which
passed unopposed (4-0).
