The applicant seeks design approval to remodel the former Rodizio Grill restaurant into an office.The site is located

Overlay District. Filed by Jerry Williams of Strongbox Co. on behalf of the owner.
Petitioners:Jerry Williams(Strongbox Commercial):
Jerry Williams:
• This property was initially a Macaroni Grill and most recently a Rodizio Grill.
• This petitioner is primarily refacing the building. There are some mechanical reworks but is interior.
• We are reusing the existing landscaping.
• The lighting will exist as is.The current pole colors will remain.
• Everything else on the building will change. It is all metal panels,glass,and stacked stone.
• We did show signage locations but those will be produced for approval at a later date.
• Staff's only question was the back regarding the tan panels.If the owners are willing to switch to a light
grey panel would that be acceptable?There is a lot of white currently.Rachel Keesling: Light grey would
be better than tan.What was the reasoning behind it?Jerry Williams: It is one of their corporate colors.
Rachel Keesling: If we incorporate it more somewhere else,then it wouldn't seem out of place.Jerry
Williams: It was at one point,but they changed things around. This is revision one of about 20.
• A lot of glass was added to the building for the storefront.All the field stone is gone. The parapet metal cap
is shifting another 3-ft.higher.We did not go much higher on the front.It is as high as the existing building.
• We are going to mill and resurface the parking lot,restripe,patch,and repair all the bad spots as well.
• We will probably lose all the landscaping along the side of the building because we are refacing the building
but will replant to the existing landscaping plan.
• One comment in ProjectDox was that there is an existing landscaping plan other than what we've shown.
This is what we found from the old prints.
Department Report: Rachel Keesling:
• Where is the bike parking?Jerry Williams: It is on C-100 right in front of the entrance.Rachel Keesling:
Perfect.
• Jerry Williams:ADA parking was reduced to two because that is all that is required by code for this use.
We will restripe all the standard stalls.
• My second comment concerns the tan colors on the rear of the building which will be switched to light grey.
That will look much better,and I'll be happy to work with you on that.
• This area of town has no architectural guidelines. It is within the Keystone Overlay but has no architecture
standards.
• It will be a great use for the area and nice to have an active tenant.
• They meet the parking standards.
• Signage will have to come back at a later date.Only three signs are allowed.If they choose to use the
Ground sign,then they cannot have three Wall signs.Jerry Williams: They will probably ask for a
variance.
• Staff recommends approval of this project tonight.
Committee Comments:
Jeff Hill: I saw parking was dimensioned at 18' x 9'. Is parking supposed to be 18' x 10' or 20' x 9' for 180 sq. ft.
or this okay?Rachel Keesling: 18' x 9' and 10' x 20' is okay.
Nick motions to approve Docket PZ-2021-00110 subject to addressing all outstanding Staff concerns&
finalizing all ProjectDox comments,Jeff seconds,motion passes 4-0.
