Date: December 18, 2012
Application:
Houston Levee Business Center, Area 1—Sunrise Chevrolet Buick GMC;
Site Plan Modification/Exterior Alterations
Please find below the staff comments and the summary of the next steps needed for the above-mentioned
application revisions received December 4, 2012. The submittal does not meet the requirements of the Design
Guidelines and needs further revision. A copy of the Design Guideline pages is attached.
Planning:
1. The franchise design shall be modified to meet our local design standards (see attached excerpt from Ch. IV,
C., 1.).
2. Staff believes that the entry portal is not signage as defined by the Sign Ordinance (§ 151.170 - § 151.183),
and thusly is part of the building and governed by the Design Guidelines. If the blue entry portal were to be
considered signage it would exceed the maximum allowable area of 200 sq. ft. per frontage of building.
Bright Blue and Bright White ACM Panels do not meet the intent of the Design Guidelines (Ch. IV, C., 5.).
Bright Colors are discouraged and should only be used in limited quantities; muted earth tone colors are
encouraged by the guidelines and staff suggests using either black or dark gray shown on your sample board
as an alternative (see attached). Attached are examples showing how other dealerships and buildings with
ACM have met the design standards.
3. The Highly Polished Aluminum ACM Panel (G-ACM4) is a highly reflective material and is not permitted
by the Design Guidelines (Ch. IV, C., 5.). Use another material which is low luster.
4. The elevations for the Showroom and Service Center indicate that the walls including masonry will be
painted white or gray. Regarding use of white, the Design Guidelines (Ch. IV, C., 5.) state “avoid white by
using cream colors”. The CUP conditions in the Zoning Ordinance also preclude bright white.
5. The automotive dealership use for Bill Heard Chevrolet (later converted to Sunrise) was approved as a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in 1998 by the Collierville Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA), as the use was
allowed by CUP in the SCC zoning district as referenced in the Houston Levee Business Center Planned
Development. The Town later (in 2000) removed the use “automotive dealership” from the use table for
SCC, and then added special CUP conditions/design criteria (see attached) for new auto dealerships. For
these reasons, the Town views the Sunrise automotive dealership use (and its site and structures) as legally
nonconforming. Within this context, staff interprets that changes to the site must (at a minimum) keep the
site consistent with the 2000 approved site, and new alterations must not make the site or building
additionally nonconforming when compared to the CUP standards of 2012 in §151.024 (J). Specifically, this
means with your application:
 continue utilizing “subdued and muted earth tone colors per the Design Guidelines” and not adding
colors (bright white, royal blue) that replace existing materials/colors with nonconforming ones;
 not increasing the amount of glazed area (glass) beyond what exists currently;
 keeping a similar architectural style to surrounding commercial buildings;
 not decreasing the amount of brick veneer (excluding the glazed areas);
 keeping the comparable materials to the front facade on all sides visible from the public right-of-way; and
 not reducing the width of existing landscaped buffer areas along the perimeter.
Additionally, new fencing shall consist of solid masonry or masonry/brick columns and ornamental wrought
iron, no chain link fencing shall be permitted, elevated display platforms for automobiles shall not be
permitted, and outdoor loudspeakers shall not be permitted.

Next Steps:
 Revise Plans: To receive a Notice to Proceed for building permits, submit 3 sets of plans for review, revise to
meet the staff’s comments.
 Submit Sign Permit Applications: Separate sign permit applications are required to be submitted for any
changes to signage. Brand color could be approved on signage as long as the color is not internally lit. Keep in
mind maximum of 200 sq. ft. per wall frontage aggregate signage allowed.
 Appeal of Administrative Decisions: If you disagree with an administrative decision related to the staff’s
interpretation of the Design Guidelines (architectural design, materials, colors, landscaping, screening), the
applicant has the means to appeal the administrative decision to the Design Review Commission. If the
applicant chooses to appeal the decision, a formal appeal application must be filed by December 21, 2012 in
order to be put on the January 10, 2013 DRC meeting agenda. The applicant has the ability to appeal the DRC’s
decision to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen for review. The Board of Mayor and Aldermen is the last means
of appeal. If there is a disagreement with a provision of the Zoning Ordinance (signage, lighting, CUP
conditions, etc), the appeal process is to the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA). If an appeal to the BZA is
planned, the deadline is December 26, 2012 for the January 24, 2013 BZA meeting. The BZA’s decision is
final.
 Construction Plan Review: Before permits can be issued for new construction, plans must be reviewed and
approved by the Codes Enforcement Division (901-457-2310); which is open Monday through Friday from
7am-4pm. The Codes Enforcement Division is responsible for the administration and implementation of the
Town's adopted construction codes, Zoning Ordinance, and Town Code. Certified plan examiners and
inspectors monitor the design and construction of all structures to insure the built environment meets design
standards for life safety and property protection. Related to Final Site Plans, the following are the most
important to things to note about the construction plan review phase:
 This phase can begin before the Final Site Plan is completed; as the Codes Division will provide
a non-binding courtesy review of construction plans to expedite the permitting process.
 The Codes Division will insure that the construction plans match the Final Site Plan (building
placement, architecture, lighting, etc).
 A Preconstruction Meeting must occur before a Building Permit is issued. Certain building
permits and plan review fees will be applicable at that point and are in addition to the Site Plan
review fees paid earlier in the process.
