David Williams, AIA 3838 Oak Lawn, Suite 1505 Dallas, TX 75219 (214) 520-2221 Fax: (214) 528-6820 HISTORY: TRANSPORTATION: There has been no recent zoning or platting history on the subject tract although the applicant postponed this case from our November and January Planning Commission dockets in an attempt to address staff concerns. Denton Tap Road is a P6D, six-lane divided thoroughfare built to standard within a 120 foot right of way. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North- vacant, owner by First Baptist Church; PD 108 (LI) South-vacant; "C" Commercial East - self-storage warehousing; "LI", Light Industrial and "C", Commercial West -existing single family and commercial uses; "C", Commercial Item # 4 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for mixed commercial/retail uses. DISCUSSION: Although we had several concerns with this application when first submitted in November of 1998, the applicant has diligently worked with staff to overcome a number of problems including site design, parking location, signage, building elevations, and landscaping requirements. Staff is comfortable with the current site layout. The submitted landscape plan does for the most part conform to city regulations. The only exception pertains to the 1,071 sf of right-of-way planting that will be accepted to satisfy part of the required landscaping. Typically sidewalks are located 1 foot off the property line. As Denton Tap Road is a major thoroughfare, staff would like to discourage the construction of a sidewalk against the back of curb. As shown, the sidewalk is located within the applicant's property line, and staff is amenable to modify the landscape requirements to obtain a safer streetscape design. The applicant will have to include the right-of-way planting information under the Site Data section shown on the Site Plan, as well as verify that the Site Data information matches the Landscape Data shown on the Landscape Plan. The building elevations were modified to address the recommendations of the CIVIC report. Both the face brick and accent face brick are earth- toned (Acme Brick/Delta Queen #6556, Modular: Elgin Plant). The base of the building is shown to be a "Limestone", split face CMU. The awnings over the windows will be canvas. The color selected is a single deep muted red color to complement the brick (Berridge Satin Finish, Galvalume). The two metal roofs over the two entrances are shown to be a lusterless metal in a burgundy color. The color elevation provided by the applicant shows a muted red channel letter sign that will complement the chosen brick. However, the sign elevation prepared by the Banner Sign Company shows a yellow channel letter sign that is outlined by red neon. Staff is of the opinion that the muted red channel letter sign is more in line with the recommendations of the CIVIC report, and neon is not allowed under any circumstance. The sizes of the proposed attached signs have been of concern to staff. However, with this submittal, the applicant has provided a sign that shows the "Dickey's Barbecue Pit" sign to comply with City Code. Based on the total width of the front faCade of the building, the applicant is allowed a maximum of 47 square feet. Therefore, the shorter "Dickey's" sign over one of the entrances must be eliminated, or the "Dickey's Barbecue Pit" sign must be reduced. Item # 4 RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: The planning staff recommends approval of the special use permit subject to the following conditions being met: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) Accept the 1,071 right-of-way planting to count as part of the required landscaping. Modify the Site Data information on the Site Plan to match the Landscape Data on the Landscape Plan. The Landscape and Irrigation Plan should be signed and sealed by the appropriate professional. Eliminate the "Dickey's" sign over the entrance to the building. Limit total signage to 47 square feet and the color of sign to a muted red; no neon allowed. Approve submitted building materials and specify in the ordinance.
