Case # 10- 00500153 (MKH) Staff Planner Matthew Hilgemeier presented the staff report stating that Whataburger is proposing to construct a new freestanding structure near the intersection of William D. Fitch Parkway and the State Highway 6 South Frontage Road. When constructed, the new structure will be part of a building plot that has more than 150,000 gross square feet of floor area. Section 7.9.f.5 of the Unified Development Ordinance requires that when a building is part of a building plot with a gross area of 150,000 square feet or more, that accent colors may be used on no more than 5% of the facade on which the accent color is applied.

The paint colors for the proposed Whataburger do not match any colors that are currently utilized on the existing commercial developmentin the area. However, the color and type of brick proposed for the new structure will match what is currently used on the building already developed in this building plot. The requested color scheme is a part of the Whataburger corporate brand and has been used at other locations throughout Texas and in College Station.
