The table below lists the proposed colors. (color samples in packet) Color Name Entrance Rear Elevation Front Drive Thru Elevation Elevation Elevation "Whataburger 7% 24% 30% 7% Orange" (107 SF) (170 SF) (214 SF) (107 SF) "Whataburger N/A 9% 18% N/A White" (63 SF) (133 SF) 10% 10% "Aggie Maroon" N/A N/A (68 SF) (65 SF) ITEM BACKGROUND: 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 fagade on which the accent color is applied. Accent colors are those not included on the approved color palette. This site is also located in the Overlay District, which requires that all building colors be neutral and harmonious with the existing man-made or natural environment and states that only compatible accent colors be used. The paint colors for the proposed Whataburger do not match any colors that are currently utilized on the existing commercial development. 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 (color palette will be available at the meeting for review). STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the applicant's request to implement a color scheme using colors that are not on the City of College Station's approved color palette. The approved color palette includes several color options that are very similar to the colors being requested by the applicant. 9 ISSUES / ITEMS FOR REVIEW: Section 7.9 of the Unified Development Ordinance requires that "all building facades and roof shall consist of only colors from the color palette approved by the City Council as amended by the Design Review Board." The Design Review Board may grant a variance for these standards of up to one hundred percent (100%) to allow alternate colors and materials on each fagade if the applicant shows that: a. The applicant is a franchised and/or chain restaurant to be developed as a single detached building (not integrated into a multi-tenant building); and b. The proposed colors/materials are part of its corporate branding; and c. The applicant provides all of the alternative color/materials schemes the chain has used. Color samples will be provided at the meeting for the Design Review Board to review. SUPPORTING MATERIALS: 1. Application 2. Letter of Support 3. Elevations of all building facades 4.
