BACKGROUND
Uncharted is a new retail store proposing to occupy a vacant tenant space located at 14906 S. LaGrange Road. This space was formerly occupied by Party City from 2003-2025.
DETAILED PLANNING DISCUSSION
The petitioner is proposing to renovate the façade of their tenant space. The existing façade has a design consisting of tan stucco with dark red column accents and a white roof cap. The façade is broken up by red brick columns indicating the lease lines for the tenant spaces. The ground level elevation is glass storefront with white trim. They are proposing to paint the stucco white and install 7” Hardie Plank siding in the color Arctic White in the center of the façade. They are also proposing to paint the roof cap and the trim around the glass storefront black. The existing brick columns will remain as-is.
Section 6-308.F of the Land Development Code discusses the design requirements for commercial buildings. Colors should be used harmoniously and with some restraint, considering the character and quality of structures in the area, and commercial buildings with facades greater than 100 feet in length must incorporate recesses and projections along at least 20% of the length of the façade. The proposed design meets the Village’s design standards.
Overall, the project conforms to the Village’s Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Codes, and policies for this area.
