TO: Members of the Design Review Board
FROM: Jason Schubert, AICP, Principal Planner SUBJECT: Proposed Wolf Pen Creek Park Restroom Facility
Item: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding a site plan and building elevation
options for a Wolf Pen Creek Park Restroom facility, generally located at 2210 Colgate Drive in
the Wolf Pen Creek District. Case #15-00900049 Summary:
The Parks & Recreation Department submitted an application to construct a restroom facility in
the festival site area of Wolf Pen Creek Park near Colgate Drive. As per the Unified
Development Ordinance (UDO), the Design Review Board (DRB) has the final authority regarding proposed site, building design, and signage in the WPC Wolf Pen Creek Design
District. The DRB considered the restroom facility at the February 27, 2015 meeting and denied
the request due to concerns regarding the nature of the design of the building.
The Parks & Recreation Department has requested that the DRB consider three new design
alternatives related to the restroom facility. Please refer to the attached documents, including the presentation that will be provided at the meeting that contains additional background,
context of the site and other existing buildings, and the three design alternatives with description.
