Case # 10- 00500275 (MKH)
Staff Planner Matthew Hilgemeier presented the staff report stating the applicant requested
implementing a building color scheme for each fagade on the building using a color (Arabian
Red) that is not on the City's approved color palette.
The applicant is a franchised /chain restaurant that will be developed as a single detached
building (not integrated into a multi- tenant building) and the requested color scheme is a part
of the BJ's corporate brand and has been used at other locations throughout Texas.
Staff recommended denial of the request to implement a color scheme using a color that is
not on the City of College Station's approved color palette. The approved color palette
includes color options that are very similar to the color requested by the applicant.
Additionally, the applicant did not meet all the requirements necessary to grant the request
for use of an alternative color since they failed to provide examples of all of the alternative
color /materials schemes that the chain or franchise has used on other buildings.
Steven Schloss motioned to approve the color "Arabian Red" as submitted; Katy Jackson
seconded the motion, which passed unopposed (4 -0).
AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Possible action and discussion on future agenda items - A
Design Review Board Member may inquire about a subject for which notice has not
been given. A statement of specific factual information or the recitation of existing
policy may be given. Any deliberation shall be limited to a proposal to place the subject
on an agenda for a subsequent meeting.
Adding "Arabian Red" to the approved color palette requested by Steven Schloss
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6: Adjourn
Bill Mather motioned to adjourn the meeting; Katy Jackson seconded the motion, which
passed unopposed (4 -0).
