Executive Summan’

As part of the proffered conditions in zoning case C-46-87(c) Am. 1-98, Commonwealth InvestmentCorporation. the Planning Commission is charged with the review and approval of the site plan andarchitectural elevations for the proposed Express Oil and Lube to be constructed in front of the existingHome Depot in the Hanover Square shopping center.

The proffers for the B-3 portion of 1-lanover Square state that the Commission is expected to review thelayout for general conformity with the approved conceptual plan. In addition, the Commission shallreview the proposed elevations to ensure there will be a harmonious architectural theme in accordancewith the proffered architectural design and materials.

Photos of the existing structures in the immediate vicinity are also attached.

Staff Recommendation

While the proposed layout and elevations appear to be consistent with the proffered conditions and theapproved elevations, the Planning Commission must specifically make that finding. Should theCommission choose to approve the layout and elevations, staff recommends the conditions as outlinedin the staff report.

The proffers applicable to the B-3 portion from rezoning case C-46-87(c) Am. 1-98 are as follows:

A. Sketch Plan.

The sketch plan attached as Exhibit A shall be deemed a conceptual sketch plan. To effectivelydesign the project, at the time of site plan or other detailed engineering, the Owner reserves theright to adjust building mass, outparcel locations, lot lines, and other minor amendments inaccordance with Article 10, Section 7, of the Ordinance as approved by the PlanningCommission. Preliminary site plans for individual parcels shall be reviewed for generalconformity with the sketch plan. The location of other buildings and other structures, inaddition to the home improvement store, shall be approved by the Planning Commission at thetime of site plan review. The Owner reserves the right to adjust the number of outparcels,subject to the limitations set forth in Proffer K.

B. Architectural Treatment.

1. There shall be a harmonious architectural theme, as determined by the PlanningCommission prior to site plan approval, for all buildings and other structuresconstructed on the Property generally in accordance with the architectural design shownon Exhibit B. Materials used on the Property may include brick, granite, marble,decorative block glass, architectural stone, architectural precast, architectural concrete,architectural block (including split face block), metal and curtain wall, architecturalmetals, or synthetic stucco. No portion of the building shall be constructed of unpaintedconcrete block or corrugated and/or sheet metal. The foregoing notwithstanding,nothing herein shall prevent an owner or tenant from using its national sign, logo orcolors as part of its sign, so long as such sign, logo and colors are consistent with therequirements of Proffer L and the sign program.

2. On the out parcels, the architectural treatment for any wall facing a public right-of-wayshall include architectural details, fenestration, or other method that will createarchitectural interest and not appear as a blank wall.

3. Visible exterior wall surfaces (whether front, sides, or rear) of each building shall besimilar in architectural treatment and materials where visible from any public roadwayor adjoining residential district.

P!annin’ Analysis

The site plan presented for the Commissions’ review is consistent with the proffered sketch plan andspecifically the flexibility with the number of outparcels as outlined in proffer A. The proposed layoutmeets all Code requirements while the Home Depot site remains in conformance with currentregulations. It should be noted that the parking regulations have changed since the Home Depot wasoriginally developed which resulted in an overall reduction in the required number of required parkingspaces for Home Depot and ultimately allowed for the creation of this new outparcel. Additionally,new landscaping will be installed which will improve the overall look of the shopping center.Vehicles being serviced will enter from the rear of the building and exit through the front overhead

2

doors. The three doors on the right side of the front will be utilized by employees only to bringvehicles into the building to be serviced. It should be noted that the proffer A stipulates the out parcelsshall also be in compliance with Proffer K which relates to transportation improvements and density.This provision does not relate to review responsibility of the Planning Commission but rather isaddressed as part of the site plan review process. The Director, using the required formula, hasdetermined that the proposed development is in compliance with this proffer.

The elevations presented for the Commission’s review are consistent with the Hanover Square ShoppingCenter and specifically with the Home Depot. Notably, the roof will be constructed with standing seammetal in Royal Blue which is one of the company’s signature elements. As you will see in the attachedphoto of the Home Depot, their building was approved using their signature orange canopy. The drawingsalso show that the building will be constructed using red brick and split faced block painted gray. Althoughthe 1-lome Depot uses a cream-colored brick, the Hanover Square North retail center, directly across BellCreek Rd. from the proposed building, utilizes red brick. The rooftop exhaust vents will be located on theside of the building that will face Home Depot and will not be visible from Bell Creek Road. The overheaddoors will be mostly glass but with silver-gray metal above and below the windows. The HVACequipment will be on the ground located within a structural enclosure that matches the building. Theseelevations show similar features previously approved and built in the Hanover Square Shopping Center.

A2encv Analysis

There were no substantive comments from any of the reviewing agencies other than Planning.

Staff’s Recommended Conditions

The Commission is being asked to make a determination as to the appropriateness of the layout andelevations of the proposed building in accordance with the proffers. Staff does not generally makerecommendations on architectural elevations. We provide comments, but the Commission must make theofficial determination.
