Re: CZC/ Design Review Narrative Letter
Project: Jackson’s Fuel Station Linder and Chinden Blvd
Jacksons Food Store No. 200
BRS Project No. 20060
To Whom It May Concern:
The applicant, Jacksons Food Stores, respectfully requests Certificate of Zoning Compliance and
Design Review approval for the construction of their new convenience store, fuel canopy, and site
improvements in a portion of the Linder Village Subdivision, located at the southeast corner of
Linder and Chinden Blvd in a C-C (Community Business) zone.
This project will include the construction of a 4,606 square foot convenience store, free standing
fuel canopy, trash enclosure, and associated site improvements that lie within the site area of
1.399 acres.
Architectural Character: The convenience store and fuel canopy create a cohesive design and take
into account appropriate building scale for the site in which it is being designed. The simple form
of the building is made more interesting by the changes in materials and pushing and pulling of
the facades of the building to create visual interest. The varying heights of the parapets and the
metal awning provide architecturally pleasing elements as well. The materials used on the
Jacksons’s convenience store portion will be comprised of grey cultured ledgestone and phenolic
tiles in white and faux wood. There will also be accents of red and grey metal. In conjunction
with the new convenience store there will be a freestanding fuel canopy that will consist of
fabricated metal panels and associated branding.
Parking Lots: Parking will be provided along the West and South portion of the main building
with 1 accessible parking space and 22 standard spaces for a total of 23 parking spaces.
Additionally, a bicycle rack capable of accommodating four bicycles will also be provided on the
South side of the building. The fueling canopy will be located on South side of the site.
Pedestrian Walkways and Facilities: -
Existing sidewalks are located along the North and East sides of the property. The addition of
new sidewalks will adjoin public sidewalks at the north and east sides of the site. Additionally,
there will be new sidewalk around the perimeter of the convenience store portion of the building
