00900148 & 13-00900150 (J.Paz)
Jenifer Paz, Staff Planner, presented the item and stated that an amending plat was recently
filed to accommodate the addition to the existing site. The addition included 6,160 square
Pagel of 3
feet to the existing building and surface parking at the rear of the building. Vinyl graphic
signs were being proposed on the faux windows and the existing attached sign would be
relocated, centered with the new entry. Building materials for the addition will match
existing material. Staff recommended approval of the site plan, building elevations and
signage as it meets the requirements of the Unified Development Ordinance and the design
criteria in Wolf Pen Creek Design District.
Mr. Schloss and Mr. Kinnard expressed concerns regarding the building material and lack of
architectural elements proposed on the south elevation. Jason Schubert, Principal Planner,
explained that this fagade is built to the property line and will be a common wall with a
future addition. Ms. Paz reminded the Board they can require more than what is required by
the UDO based on the requirements of the Wolf Pen Creek Design District.
The Board continued to discuss the material proposed on the south elevation and the
buildablity of the property to the south. Mr. Goodwin argued that the material is similar to
what exist with the building just being extended to the south.
Mr. Schloss motioned to approve the Site Plan and Signage and approve the Building
Elevations with the condition of the South elevation use similar material and architectural
elements as the North, East and West elevations; Mr. Kinnard seconded the motion, which
passed unopposed (7-0).
AGENDA ITEM NO. S: 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.
Mr. Goodwin expressed concern regarding the non-residential architecture standards for
Suburban Commercial zoning, particularly the long-term market implications they could
have on a building. Mr. Schloss and Mr. Kinnard expressed concern with the differences
between State and City requirements regarding when an engineer or architect is needed as
part of the design of a project.
