Title
Public Hearing: Application #PL2025-116 - Preliminary Development Plan - Smalls Sliders, 101 SW Oldham Parkway; Paxvesta, LLC, applicant
Body
Issue/Request:
The subject application is for preliminary development plan approval of a 930 sq. ft. walk-up and drive-through restaurant for Smalls Sliders on Lot 7 of the Oldham Village development. The previously approved preliminary development plan for the overall Oldham Village development showed a drive-through restaurant site layout for the subject site, but detailed building elevations were not available at that time for review and approval. As a result, only conceptual approval requiring separate preliminary development plan approval was given for the Smalls Sliders site.
The proposed restaurant building employs a contemporary architectural design with a 100% metal exterior accentuated by a repurposed shipping container that sits atop the building. The shipping container overhangs the building on two sides to function as a canopy over the walk-up order window on one side and a canopy over the drive-through pick-up window on the other side; a separate traditional canopy is also provided over the outdoor seating/dining area. The main body of the building will be painted midnight bronze. The shipping container and building accents will be painted in Smalls Sliders’ signature orange color.
As previously stated, the proposed building exterior is 100% metal. A modification is required to be approved by City Council to allow the use of metal on over 75% of any façade. Staff supports the requested modification.
Proposed Planning Commission Motion:
I move to recommend APPROVAL of Application #PL2025-116 - Preliminary Development Plan - Small Sliders, 101 SW Oldham Parkway; Paxvesta, LLC, applicant
