The request property is an outparcel of the Harbour Pointe Shopping Center. Surrounding
properties are zoned Community Business (C-3) and are occupied by commercial uses or
remain vacant.
Zoning History:
On December 11, 1991, the Board of Supervisors, upona favorable recommendation from
the Planning Commission, approved a rezoning from Residential (R-7), Office Business (O)
and Light Industrial (M-I) to Community Business (C-3) with Conditional Use to permit a
shopping center, multi family residential and townhouse residential uses on a 47.4 acre tract,
to include the request site. (Case 91SN0286)
On July 23, 1997, the Board of. Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation from the
Planning Commission, approved an amendment to Case 918N0286 to permit a drug
store/Pharmacy with drive-in windOw on a 3.6 acre tract that included the request site (Case
97SN0223). With approval ofthis request, a proffered condition was accepted requiting that
all signs conform to the Harbour Pointe Village Shopping Center Sign Package.(Proffered
Condition 8 of Case 97SN0223). For out pared development, this package addressed the
letter color and logo size for building mounted signage.
On September 26, 2001, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation from
the Planning Commission, approved an amendment to Case91 SN0286 to permit restaurant
use on a .6 acre tract (Case 01 SN0254). This property is proposed to be incorporated into the
request site for the purpose of development.
Site Design:
The property in conjunction with adjacent C-3 properties to the-north is proposed for
development as a fast food restaurant. Except as regulated by Cases 91SN0286 and
97SN0223, development must conform to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance for
Emerging Growth Districts which address access, parking,' landscaping, architectural
treatment, setbacks, signs, buffers, pedestrian access, utilities and-screening ofdumpsters and
loading areas.

Signs:
Signs for the site are currently regulated by the Zoning Ordinance requirements, except as
sUPerseded by conditions of Case 97SN0223. Such conditions address letter color and logo
size for building mounted signage used for out parcel development. SpeCifically, all lettering
for building mounted signage mustbe white and the logo. height eaunot exceed one and one-
fifth (1 1/5) times the letter height.
The applicant is reqUesting an amendment to these sign conditions to permit red lettering as
an altemative to the whitelettering requirement for an Arby?s Restaurant, only. The l~)go
height restriction would remain (proffered Condition 1). These Conditions were negotiated
between the applicant of Case. 97SN0223 and area property owners in an attempt to achieve
consistency in signage between the Harbour Pointe Shopping Center and out parcel
development. Further, proffered Conditions require that al! silgnage be approved:by the
Brandermill Community AssOciation's Architectural Board (Proffered COndition 2). It
should be noted that the Ordinance no longer requires adherence to signpackages'for projects
existing.prior to November 9, 1994, which includes the Harbour Pointe Shopping Center.
Signs. for such developments:must comply with requirements ofthe Ordinance and zoning
conditions and may also be subject to privately-enforced requirementsand review processes2
