Comprehensive Plan. The propert is desi as Commercial on the Proposed
Land Use Map. The White Castle restaurant will be consistent with this land use
desi
Zonin The propert is zoned B-4. Limited Business District. Restaurants are a
permitted use, but drive throu and convenience food establishments are a listed
conditional use. A review of the criteria for this project is as follows. The District
re a 40 foot front y ard setback, 10 foot side y ard setback and 20 foot rear y ard
setback. The buildin meets or exceeds these re The buildin hei
maximum in the B-4 District is 35 feet, At its hi point, the buildin will be 22 feet, 8
inches.
Section 401.301,E of the Zonin Ordinance lists criteria for review of drive throu and

connects Norwich and Novak Avenue forth. The roadway has been paved and
completed with curb and gutter.
Parking. section 401.15.F.9 of the Zoning Ordinance requires one off street parking
stall for each 35 square feet of gross floor area or service and dining area and one
space for each 80 square feet of kitchen and storage area. Additionally, two spaces are
regUired for the drive through and 180 feet of drive aisle stacking space must be
included, The parking calculation for this site is as follows:
925 sq ft (seating/service) x.0 882 / 35 = 24 spaces
1500 sq ft (kitchen/storage) x.0 1850180 = 17 spaces
drive through spaces 2 spaces
Total 48 spaces
`The site plan indicates that there are 43 parking stalls planned for the development, two
of which are disability accessible. The layout as designed will meet the required
number of parking stalls and disability accessible stalls.
The parking spaces are 0 foot diagonal stalls with 18 foot driveway aisles in compliance
with the Zoning ordinance. The parking area will be completely surrounded by curb
and gutter. All of the parking areas are setback from the property lines in accordance
with the planned Unit Development approvals. There will be landscaped areas at the
front and rear of the building as well as surrounding the parking lot.
Loading areas/Trash EnGIOSUre Location. `The loading access to the building will be
from the parking lot and deliveries are made at the rear of the structure. The
representatives of White castle have indicated that deliveries are made at off peak
hours so as not to disrupt traffic flow within the site. The trash enclosure is located at
the rear of the building and is constructed of the same materials as the main structure.

Design Guidelines
Sustainable Guidelines. City staff has questioned the applicant on how the project has
been designed to achieve at least a certain degree of sustainability. The applicant will
need to discuss the methods in building construction and site design with the Planning
Commission of how these issues have been addressed.
Architectural Guidelines.
1W a Qade Treatments
The building will have a definite base, middle and top. The base is defined by a
different building material that has a stone face appearance and the tap by a
horizontal brick band. The building facades are broken up vertically by the tower
elements. There is a primary entrance well defined by the tower and awnings.
G round Lev Exp ression
This is a one story building with a tower feature at the corner. I - lie main entrance
is well defined by the awnings and signage.
Trans aretic
The building uses glass on all of the facades exept for the ream which is obscured
by the trash enclosure. The Design Guidelines requires at least a 20 percent
transparency round floor, street facing facades. The facade facing 60"'
p y on g
Street is approximately 14 percent transparent. The Planning Cap mision should
discuss this.
Entries
The building features a prominent entry with a tower and awnings.
Roof I esi n
The roofline is broken at the entrance corner by a tower feature. Additionally, the
roofline is broken by tower like parapets. staff raises the issue of the tower
parapets if the building were to cease as being a White Castle. It is suggested
that these architectural features be removed at such time as this building is no
longer used by this franchise.
The roofto p mechanical equipment will be completely screened within the
parapet of the building.
Building Materials and Colors
'The applicant has provided color elevations for review. The primary building
pp p
materials of brick and glass will exceed the 60 percent requirement, None of the
prohibited building materials will be used. Building material samples will be
available at the Planning Commission meeting.
S
Page 44 of 76
The Planning Commission should discuss the color, The resign Guidelines
indicate that the building color should accent:, blend with, or complement the
surroundings. warm toned colors are encouraged. The use of the stone at the
base and in the towers would be consistent with the Design Guidelines. The
white brick color is not found in surrounding buildings and is not considered a
warm tone. staff would suggest that a darker brick color be used. Examples of
other white castles that have been built in the metro area will be shared with the
Planning Commission at the meeting.
Additionally the Planning Commission should comment on the color and striping
of the awnings and well as the blue light fixtures.
Franchise Architecture
The material selection will be key in deterrnining if the proposed building is
consistent with the Design Guidelines. It is recommended by staff that darker
color building materials be considered and that the blue awns ng and light fixtures
be discussed by the Planning Commission.
Site Design Guidelines
buildin Placement
The ro osed building has a well defined entrance facing 60 "' street. The
p p
building is set back to allow for parking and landscaping.
IarAlin 2 Areas
The parking area is landscaped with adequately sized perimeter landscaping.
S to rmwate r
stormwater will be addressed in the city Engineer'' report.
Ped estrian and Common Spaq
A walkwa y has been added between the city trail and the front entrance of the
building. Front entrance does not plan for any common space or seating areas.
