From Paula Hubert
Re Façade Exemption Submittal
Copies
Dear Planning Staff & Board Members-
On behalf of our client, Texas Roadhouse, please consider this justification letter in conjunction with the Façade Exemption
Submittal documents provided for your review. We offer the following supporting evidence with respect to the criteria outl ined
in Section 2, Paragraph C, Number 2, in the Town of Prosper Ordinance No. 16-29. Please see below for the applicable
section of the ordinance and key points addressing all six criteria outlined in the ordinance:
Town of Prosper, Texas
Ordinance No. 16-29, Section 2, Paragraph C, Number 2:
In considering an exception to the exterior façade requirements, the Planning & Zoning Commission and Town Council may
consider whether a proposed alternate material:
a: Is a unique architectural expression
The Texas Roadhouse design is a unique architectural expression, designed with varied high quality
materials such as brick, stone, clear stained cedar and metal roof. The body of the building is primarily
comprised of stone wainscot and brick, culminating in a brick parapet detailed with a soldier course as well
as rowlock courses. In addition, the restaurant entry is defined by a roof overhang, clear stained cedar
posts, stone wainscot, stone pilasters and accented with architectural lighting at the entry door. These
details are continued on the other three elevations, for a cohesive architectural expression of the unique
design that defines the Texas Roadhouse restaurant.
b: Includes unique building styles and materials
The building style is unique and offers architectural detail and a rticulation on all four elevations, through the
harmonious blend of colors and materials with architectural detail conveyed through pilasters, brick details,
various roof lines and architectural accent lighting.
Page 2 of 2
01 Memorandum 07.01.05 C:\Users\phubert\Desktop\Texas Roadhouse\Town of Prosper Justification Letter 23dec16.docx
c: Is consistent with high quality development
The use of high quality materials is evident in the design with the use of masonry as the primary building
material and secondary uses of wood and metal.
d: Is or would be visually harmonious with existing or proposed nearby buildings
The design of the Texas Roadhouse is in keeping with existing and proposed nearby buildings by blending
the use of brick, stone, metal and wood in colors that are warmer earth tones, with green accents and
visually compatible with other designs and color palettes in nearby commercial developments, such as in the
Prosper Town Center, just north of 1st Street, as an example.
e: Has obvious merit based upon the quality and durability of the materials; and
The design of the Texas Roadhouse building design includes various high quality, durable materials, such
as brick, stone, wood and metal.
f: Represents an exterior building material that is in keeping with the intent of this chapter to balance the abovementioned
objectives.
As detailed in the color elevations, material board and key points noted above, the Texas Roadhouse design
is in keeping with the intent of the ordinance. The design is unique, utilizes high quality building materials
and will be harmonious with other developments in the Town of Prosper.
Thank you for your consideration of our submittal and the above points. I look forward to receiving your input and approval.
