AGENDA LOCATION:

Individual Consideration

TITLE

Consider and make a recommendation on a request for Alternative Building Materials. The

subject property is located at 3318 Lakeview Parkway, further described as being Lot 2, Block 1,

Boyd & Kneggs Business Park, City of Rowlett, Dallas County, Texas.

STAFF REPRESENTATIVE

Tara Bradley, Senior Planner

SUMMARY

This is an Alternative Building Material (ABM) request to allow the use of wood cedar siding and

corrugated metal on an existing building with the proposed use of a restaurant. The subject

property is located at 3318 Lakeview Parkway (Attachment 1 - Location Map). Per the Rowlett

Development Code (RDC), Section 77-507- Public/Institutional and Commercial Building

Standards, 2.(a): “Buildings shall be 100 percent masonry construction per elevation, exclusive of

roof doors and windows.” Alternative materials such as wood siding may be allowed after a

recommendation by the planning and zoning commission and approval by the city council.”

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The subject property is a .08605 +/- acre tract of land located at 3318 Lakeview Parkway. The

property is on the south side of Lakeview Parkway and is approximately 906 feet west of Rowlett

Road. The subject property is zoned General Commercial/Retail District-C-2. The site is the

former Baker’s Ribs, and is being redeveloped for the use of a new restaurant. The applicant is

requesting to remove the existing stone and metal roof exterior of the building and will replace the

roof and clerestory with corrugated metal, and the building facades with brick and cedar shiplap

siding accents for consistency with the Hat Creek Burger’s brand identity. The front (north)

elevation will be removed and rebuilt for a patio area with a shading device constructed of hanging

cedar 2’x6” boards. The building will be approximately 80% masonry in comparison to the 100%

RDC masonry requirement.

The RDC requires building exteriors to be materials such as stone, brick, tile, cast or cultured

stone, split-face concrete masonry units, or stucco meeting American Society for Testing and

Materials (ASTM) standards with a minimum thickness of three-quarter inches. However, wood

exterior elevations and architectural elements may be approved for restaurants and retail

structures by recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and approval of the City

Council.

DISCUSSION

According to Section 77-507.C.2.a. of the Rowlett Development Code (Public / Institutional and

Commercial Building Standards), buildings shall be 100 percent masonry construction per

elevation, exclusive of the roof, doors, and windows. The request is to allow metal corrugated

panels on the clerestory and cedar wood siding on the facades.

The façades and roof of the building will be replaced with a the following building material:

• The proposed east elevation will consist of fifty (50%) percent brick, twenty (25%)

percent cedar shiplap siding, thirteen (13%) metal and twelve (12%) glass.

• The proposed north elevation will consist of ninety-eight (98%) percent cedar shiplap

siding and two (2%) corrugated metal proposed on the roof of the structure.

• The proposed west elevation will consist of sixty-six (66%) percent brick, eighteen

(18%) corrugated metal and sixteen (16%) glass

• The proposed south elevation will consist of sixty-eight (68%) percent brick and twenty-

one (21%) percent corrugated metal and eleven (11%) cedar shiplap siding.

The purpose of the code is outlined in Section 77-507.A. of the RDC which states:

This section is intended to promote high-quality non-residential building design,

encourage visual variety in non-residential areas of the city, foster a more human

scale and attractive street fronts, project a positive image to encourage economic

development in the city, and protect property values of both the subject property

and surrounding areas. In addition, this section intends to create a distinct image

for important or highly visible areas of the city in order to enhance the public image

of the city and encourage high quality economic development.

The RDC’s architectural requirements are intended to use high quality, long lasting masonry

materials such as brick, stone, split-faced CMU, and three-quarter inch stucco. However, the RDC

provides an option to specifically request other exterior materials. The proposed corrugated metal

will replace the existing metal roof and clerestory and the east, west and south facades will have

brick facades with cedar wood shiplap accents. The front north elevation will consist of 98% cedar

shiplap. The purpose of the request is to reflect the brand’s unique identity.

Staff recommends approval based on RDC, Section 77-507 (C)(2)(e) “wood exterior elevations

and architectural elements may be approved for restaurants and retail structures by

recommendation of the planning and zoning commission and approval of the city council.” In

addition, Section 77-507 A “to create a distinct image for important or highly visible areas of the

city in order to enhance the public image of the city and encourage high quality economic

development.”

Furthermore when looking at our more progressive urban Form Based Code, the façade

requirements allow a wider range of high quality building materials. As a result, these

developments generate a high quality design and allow the proposed façade material allocation

by right.
