Page 4 of 16 <br />line is at 50 feet. The Applicant has shown that the building would be constructed with an 80.8- <br />foot setback. <br />The Applicant has requested flexibility due to the narrowness of the site and the layout of the <br />building. The Applicant states that with the building at the setback line, the exit drive from the <br />tunnel would terminate across from an existing driveway median, creating an unsafe and <br />impossible condition for customers to turn left and re-enter the site to utilize the vacuums. To <br />achieve the 50 foot building setback, the exit driveway would also encroach into the twenty (20) <br />foot parking and landscape setback. <br />Visual of building at 50 foot building setback <br />B. Exterior Materials – Flexibility Requested <br />At least seventy-five (75) percent of the exterior building materials should be made of brick <br />masonry, tile masonry, natural stone or its synthetic equivalent, decorative concrete plank, <br />transparent glass or any combination thereof. Trim and other accent or decorative features may <br />be metal, wood, split faced block, EIFS, or stucco.

Undesirable materials include <br />simulated brick, vinyl or aluminum siding, sheet or corrugated metal siding, plain concrete <br />blocks or panels, brightly colored metal roofing or canopies, pre-cast tilt-up walls, and mirrored <br />or reflective glass. Building colors shall be muted. Recommended colors include browns, grays, <br />tans, beiges, and dark or muted green, blues, and reds. Bright or brilliant colors and sharply <br />contrasting colors may be used for only accent purposes occupying a maximum of five percent <br />(5%) of building façades. <br />The Planning Commission should evaluate the architectural style and building character based on <br />the quality of its design and on its relationship to its surroundings. Site characteristics to be <br />evaluated for this purpose include, but are not limited to, building and landscaping materials, <br />colors, textures, shapes, massing, building components, height, roof-line, and setback. A full <br />plan set of building elevations is included as Attachment E. Planning Staff has provided the <br />review below on building materials as shared by the Applicant in order for the Planning <br />Commission to attain a better understanding of the full scope of their project design. <br />Building Materials – Flexibility Requested
