Land Ocean Restaurant CZC, DES
LOCATION: 2902 N. Eagle Road
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant, Richard Wilmot of Chrysalis Architecture + Planning, requests Certificate of Zoning
Compliance (CZC) and Administrative Design Review (DES) approval to modify the existing
building for the Land Ocean Restaurant located on 1.30 acres of land in the C-G zoning district with
the following scope of work:
➢ Removal of the large red canopies and replace them with a more industrial look with
corrugated metal awnings.
➢ Installation of a black/grey/weathered wood color palette accents on the exterior of the
building covering the existing cement plaster siding located in the areas up high behind the
proposed restaurant signage.
➢ Painting of the existing brick veneer a dark grey and cover the top of the existing arched
windows with square metal panels. These panels will be the Land Ocean signature weathered
wood louvers which adds some texture and depth to the elevations and provides some privacy
to the customers just inside those windows.
➢ These architectural elements help to accentuate the clean simple interior design elements
planned for the tenant improvement. The tenant improvement will not be adding any square
footage to the existing building. Rather, the interior space will be modernized with wood slat
ceilings and updated wall finishes to suite the style of previous Land Ocean restaurants.
➢ There are no changes to the existing landscaping or parking lot.
II. DECISION
