RE: ARB-2020-108: Airport Road Sheetz: Architectural Revisions
DATE: March 1, 2021
On December 7, 2020 the ARB approved the above -noted Sheetz application pending staff approval of several conditions,
including the following:
1. Revise the design of the store building to establish more coordinated material transitions, less of a utilitarian
appearance on the Airport Road elevation, and an entrance tower with a prominent form. Address prominence and
hierarchy in the tower form. Revisions must be reviewed by the ARB in a future work session prior to final
approval.
The applicant's revised designs intended to address this condition are attached for your review.
Staff has completed a cursory review of the revised submittal and notes the following changes:
• The tower element maximum height has been increased by one foot from 31'6" to 32'6", the entrances along the
elevations of this element have been centered and stone veneer has been added to the corner, and the proposed
signs on the east and south have been shifted to center within the element and the entrances below.
• No changes have been made to the material transitions to establish a more coordinated appearance.
• The canopy along the bump -out visible from Airport Rd. has been revised to an awning.
• The sign near the northeast corner of the building has been shifted up and the glass of the entrance has been
revised to render accurately.
• The color of the ice machines has been revised and other store related equipment has been relocated behind
fencing.
• The wall signs have been revised to be externally illuminated and appear to be limited to three colors (two shades
of red and white).
A work session to discuss the revised design has been scheduled for the March 1, 2021 ARB meeting.
