ITEM SUMMARY:
The applicant is requesting to repaint a portion of the existing
building and replace existing signage to reflect the Advanced Auto Parts corporate
branding.Five options have been presented for review by the Design Review Board.
Option 1 is preferred by the applicant.
The applicant’s preferred color section includes Castle Rock, Sand Motif, Beachcomber,
Advanced Auto Parts Red, black, white, and Safety Yellowfrom the Glidden
Professional color palette.The red and yellow selections do not comply with the City of
College Station Approved Color Palette.Alternative color selections, seen in Options 2,
4, and 5, include a dark red (PMS 202C) and Gold Nugget.
The applicant is proposing 174square feet of replacement attached signage in the form
of 2 new signs, and is also proposing to replace the sign face on the existing
freestanding sign abutting HarveyRoad. Advanced Auto Parts currently has 118
square feet of visible attached signage, all of which is to be replaced. The total amount
allotted to this tenant based on the length of their tenant space is 175 square feet.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The current color selection and signage was approved by the
Design Review Board in 1999 based on the Wolf Pen Creek Design District parameters.
A bright red for the signs and façade was denied at that time.
The original building has been separated into two tenant spaces currently utilized as
Advanced Auto Parts and Car Docs. The Car Docs portion is excluded from the
proposed façade changes and will retain the grey, maroon, and black color scheme.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Options 4 or 5 signage and façade change due to the
subdued color scheme and harmonious nature with the surrounding development.
Staff recommends denial of Options 1, 2, and 3 signage and façade changes due to the
intensity of the color selection that would compete for attention, the incompatibility with
the remaining portion of the building, and the incompatibility with neighboring
development.
