Request
A request for a variance from the Highway 151 Gateway Corridor standards, as described in 35-339.01, to allow metal as an accent building material.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located along State Highway 151, where the City Council adopted its second Gateway Corridor Overlay District in 2005. These design standards only allow metal for use on the roof, awnings, balconies, window and door framing, and other areas not visible from the public right of way. The project is the new construction of a self-service storage building, three stories in height on a parcel with three acres. The building permit was reviewed and approved in December 2016, without a corridor review included. The approved design included metal as an accent building material visible from the highway. The applicant was recently contacted and informed of the staff error. The architect prepared a design using stucco for the owner's consideration, as well as given the opportunity to request a variance to allow the metal material to remain. The owner prefers the metal and has stated that it is an important element of their local market branding.
