| EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: |
The purpose of this request is to consider Conceptual Architecture regarding the remodel of an existing McDonald’s restaurant (Attachment 1) located at Oracle Road and Magee Road (Attachment 2).
The proposed remodel of the restaurant would result in a contemporary design that includes the following:
- Repainting stucco walls in earth tones with a contrasting entryway feature
- Retain brick wainscoting
- Replace the existing red roof with a corrugated metal parapet style roof
- New metal windows and door overhangs
- A judicious use of yellow as an accent on the building
The request is in conformance with the Town’s Design Principles and applicable Design Standards (Attachment 3).
The CDRB will consider the applicant's request during the July 11, 2017 meeting. An update regarding the board's recommendation will be provided during the meeting. |
| BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION: |
The proposed development is located in an area where many of the buildings are 20 to 30 years old. Each business was built as an independent development resulting in few cohesive design elements in the area. McDonalds' proposed remodel will not only enhance the existing architecture of the restaurant, but also improve the architectural theme for the entire corner.
Existing Site Conditions:
- Zoning: C-2
- Lot size: 1 acre
Approvals to Date
- Restaurant built in 1990
- Annexed into Oro Valley 2003
Conceptual Architecture Design Principles and Design Standards review
The Zoning Code establishes Design Principles and Design Standards to evaluate architectural projects. A brief summary of the projects conformance with each is provided below and a more extensive analysis is provided in Attachment 3.
Design: The proposed remodel of the restaurant would remove the red roof and install new parapet walls, a main entry feature and window and door overhangs with an updated color palette.
Scale, height and mass: The mass of the building will be broken up by providing a new contrasting entry feature and varied colors along with the original design that provides varied roof heights on the building.
This design review is for a building that has been located on the site since 1990. There is no expansion of the building size or parking with the proposed remodel. The overall height of the building will not increase.
Facade Articulation: The proposed remodel utilizes metal window and door overhangs along with contrasting colors to provide variety to the existing building and create additional visual interest. The character of the building will be enhanced by incorporating stucco, metal and brick materials.
Screening: The roof top mechanical equipment will be screened from view by the corrugated metal parapet style roof. The location of the refuse containers and drive-thru will not change with this remodel but all exterior elements will be updated with new paint colors.
The request is in conformance with the Town’s Design Principles and applicable Design Standards.
Public Participation: A neighborhood meeting is not required by the Zoning Code. Public notice has been provided as follows:
- Posting at Town Hall
- Posting on the Town’s website
- All affected HOA’s
The CDRB will consider the applicant's request during the July 11, 2017 meeting. An update regarding the Board's recommendation will be provided during the meeting. The CDRB staff report has been provided in Attachment 4. |
