PZ-2022-00034 ADLS Amend: Circle K Rebrand—College Plaza. The applicant seeks approval for signage and brand modifications/updating. The site is located at 10598 College Ave.It is zoned B-1Business and is located in the Homeplace Business Sub-Area Overlay District. Filed by Amy Leska of Corporate Identification Solutions on behalf of the owner. 2. PZ-2022-00036 ADLS Amend: Circle K Rebrand. The applicant seeks approval for signage and brand modifications/updating.The site is located at 545 S. Rangeline Road. It is zoned B-1Business and is located in the Rangeline Road Overlay District. Filed by Amy Leska of Corporate Identification Solutions on behalf of the owner. Petitioner: Amy Leska: Representative for Circle K on behalf of Corporate Identification Solutions. We are proposing to rebrand both fueling stations from Shell to Circle K brand. On the canopy we are proposing to remove the red bar lighting and Shell colors and to install the tri-color ACM which is not illuminated.As for the main ID sign,the pylon signs,they are both short monument signs,will be rebranding from Shell to Circle K. Department Report: Aliza Shalit: Location presents a canopy with red,white, and yellow stripped ACM Panels. The proposed update keeps within a similar color scheme in this case with red being the predominant color and a small white and orange stripe at the bottom. An illuminated Circle K and logo sign on the E and W at the College Avenue location and N and S at S. Rangeline faces is also proposed. The existing lighting will be removed. Staff supports updating the ACM panels which would provide a refreshed look to the location but does not support the canopy signage. Updates to the pumps are also proposed and are acceptable if signage remains at 3sf or less. Measurements of signage portion of updated gas pumps will be required during permitting stage. The proposal also includes an update to the Monument Sign face. On the College Ave. sign,the exiting Shell panel will be replaced by price scrollers with a blue background. Right now,the sign does not have the required landscaped area. A landscape plan for this monument sign will be required per City Sign Standards. On the S. Rangeline location, the Shell logo will be replaced by the Circle K logo, and the pricing signs will be replaced by scrollers using a blue background for unleaded fuel and green for Diesel. An updated landscape plan for this monument sign will be required per City Sign Standards. When it comes with issues Iwith the locations,on the College Ave. side, while reviewing the application we noted that the location presents outdoor ice storage freezers as well as propane storage, it also has a dumpster with no enclosure present, as well as no bike parking. On the Rangeline side,there were commitments made in 2019 per 1 Commercial Committee Meeting Minutes 3-29-22 Docket 19010010ADLS Amend regarding the addition of a bicycle rack and the removal of any material or product storage from outdoor locations and they are still there and there is still no bicycle parking present, there are two outdoor ice storage freezers, a propane storage unit, and large stacks of firewood for sale between the gas pumps, right now today, I checked this morning. Staff is supportive of the updates being proposed, with the condition that they update all the items that they committed to before on the Rangeline location and add the bicycle parking on the College location as well as removing all the outdoor storage and on the College side they would have to include the enclosure for the trash bin. There was one more item that we noted, on the S. Rangeline location, a new approximately 200sf accessory building has been installed immediately adjacent to the primary building which was not previously there and Staff is requesting the petitioner to contact the Building Code Services Department to make sure the building is within code. They will need to provide details on what is stored within and the exact square footage, because depending on the square footage and what's inside there are different requirements for permits and installation. There is a slight issue of upkeep of the S. Rangeline location trash enclosure, this is the exterior building, and this is the trash enclosure. Committee Comments: Kevin: 106 'and College,I am pretty sure that somewhere down the road,we are looking at a roundabout there, is that correct?Does this accommodate the right-of-way that we need? Sergei: It does, in fact that particular parcel is not included in our right-of-way position. The way it is designed avoids this parcel entirely. Kevin: I don't like when we have commitments and then somebody comes back two and a half years later and wants something new and never completed the original commitments. If I was making the decision myself,and I am not,I would table this,tell them to fix those things and then come back and see us. That is just my opinion. I don't like when we ask for things and don't get them. The additional building, sneaking it in when Rangeline's being constructed is also inappropriate,I would not ask building services if it meets code,I would ask it to be removed. We have made it very clear if they want to upgrade Rangeline Rd.they must upgrade it,and that means bring the building to the road and start over again. There is a Rangeline Rd. Overlay.You are not upgrading that property without meeting the Rangeline Rd. Overlay. Alan: I would say I agree with everything Kevin said. If it's not done now, it's not going to get done and it will keep going on.I move that we table these two petitions until those items are brought into conformance Kevin: Second. A Motion made by Alan Potasnik and seconded by Kevin Rider to table Docket Nos.PZ-2022-00034 ADLS Amend and PZ-2022-00036 ADLS Amend until the are brought into conformance. Approved 3-0,absent Hill. 3. Docket No.PZ-2021-00205 DP/ADLS: 11335 N.Michigan Rd.Apartments. The applicant seeks site plan and design approval for a new development with 4 future outlots and an apartment complex(244 units). The site is located at 11335 N. Michigan Road.
