VI. STAFF ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting a modification to the existing conditional use permit (MCU-12-
001) to amend the site layout and building design (elevations) for building pad #5, Lot 4, Block
3 of Devon Park Subdivision No. 1 as shown on Exhibit A.3 and A.5.
The modification to the site/landscape plan and building design are desired by the applicant
to construct a 3,464 square foot restaurant (The Griddle) on the vacant building pad north of
Banner Bank at Fairview Lakes.
The Unified Development Code (UDC) (11-5B-6G) authorizes the Director to approve or
deny specified minor modifications, provided such modifications were not the subject of
review during the original public hearing and will not adversely impact adjacent properties.
Such minor modifications include, but are not limited to the following:
1. Minor relocation of dwelling units or building pads for practical reasons such as road
alignment, topography or access.
Staff has reviewed the site/landscape plan and elevations provided with this application and
has determined the site area, parking, and building pad location are generally consistent with
the current approval for this site. However, the building elevations proposed do not meet the
design standards in the Architectural Standards Manual for commercial properties in the C-G
zoning district and the building design lacks cohesion in materials and that are similar to the
surrounding buildings within the subdivision.
Therefore, Staff hereby approves the modifications proposed to the site/landscape plans and
elevations submitted by the applicant as conditioned in Section B below.
