PLANNING OVERVIEW and DISCUSSION:
Meijer is currently completing a remodel of the existing store located at 15701 71st Court. As a part of the interior renovations, Meijer also seeks to repair the EIFS on the exterior of the store. They did not indicate on the permit drawings or zoning permit that exterior painting was a part of the scope of work, so an appearance review is now requested for the completed painting of the site.
The updated paint scheme, attached, includes a combination of light and dark gray tones, a bronze accent, and blue accents. These changes are intended to refresh the building appearance as part of the overall remodel. Per LDC Section 6-308.F.8, Colors should be used harmoniously and with some restraint. Color schemes should consider and respect the character and quality of structures in the area. Excessively bright or brilliant colors should be used only for accent. Materials and colors should withstand the weather well over a 25 year period.
SIGNAGE
Signage is not part of this petition and should be submitted for separate review to the Building Division, if requested.
