City Clerk's Office
Attention: City Clerk
113 W. Mountain Street
Fayetteville, AR 72701
Dear Sir:
On Monday, May 23, we had the opportunity to present our development plan to
the Fayetteville Planning Commission for the construction of a T.G.I. Friday's
restaurant at The Steele Crossing development in your city. I am pleased to say
that, for the most part, our proposal met with approval, and we would like to
move ahead with the construction of our restaurant. We did, however, have
several issues that I would like to have your assistance in resolving. Our sign
package was altered to exclude a rear sign and our trademark logo "In here, it's
always Friday's" over the front entry. We believe that both signs fall within the
guidelines of other restaurants in the arca. We will be presenting our arguments
to the City Council on June 21st. I have enclosed a picture of the door sign which
we believe is tastefully done and will not be offensive to our guests or other
visitors to the area Would you please distribute the other pictures that 1 have
enclosed to the Council Members for their review. As for the rear sign, we will
be presenting examples of other restaurants that have been allowed sigmage
similar to what we are requesting. As mentioned, we are anxious to get underway
and would like any assistance you may be able to give us with resolving these
issues.
Please feel free to call me should you have any questions.

City Council Meeting of June 21, 2005
Agenda Item Number
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor and City Council
Thru: Gary Dumas, Director of Operations
From: Jeremy C. Pate, Director of Current Planning
Date: June 13, 2005
Subject: Planning Commission Appeal for TGI Friday's Restaurant (LSD 05-1468)
RECOMMENDATION
"I he Planning Commission voted on May 23 to approve a Conditional Use and Large
Scale Development for TGI Friday's restaurant, located at the southwest comer of Mall
Avenue and Van Asche Drive. Staff recommended approval of the project, with a total of
fifteen conditions of approval.
BACKGROUND
Property description: The 2.10 -acre lot is proposed to contain a 6,586 SF TGI Friday's
restaurant with 116 parking spaces, which required a conditional use, as it is above the
number allowed by ordinance. The site is located north of Logan's Roadhouse
Restaurant, south of Fuddrucker's Restaurant, within the I-54(1 Design Overlay District.
Request: The applicant is appealing the conditions of approval set by the Planning
Commission for the project regarding the allowed signage. At the time of Large Scale
Development, the applicant was requesting a total of four (4) sign variances from the 1-
540 Design Overlay District requirements. The Planning Commission granted 2/4 of the
variances, finding in favor of the requested monument sign with an attached slogan and
finding in favor of the requested "Fasy Come, Easy Go" directional signage for the
curbside pickup arca. The Planning Commission did not find in favor of an additional
TGI Friday's wall sign, and found in favor of staffs recommendation to incorporate the
requested "In here it's always Friday" slogan into the larger TGI Friday's wall sign in
order to consider these as the same sign and to be consistent with other restatirants in the
area.
Signage criteria in a commercial zoning district within the Design Overlay District
(D.O.D.) differs from that within a commercial zoning district outside the Design
Overlay District. Presently, the Planning Commission is the authority for variances on
signage in the D.O.D. An applicant may appeal the Planning Commission's decisions to
the City Council, which is the case here. Outside of the D.O.D., an applicant must
comply with Ch. 174 Signs. The Zoning & Development Administrator has limited
ability to grant appeals from Ch. 174; beyond that, an applicant must pursue action in
Circuit Court. Variances from numbers of signs allowed is not within the authority of the
Zoning & Development Administrator to grant, by city ordinance.
•
City Counclillit eeting of June 21, 2005
Agenda Item Number
Staff finds that the current Design Overlay District ordinance requires Planning
Commission approval for any wall sign that is beyond the name of the business, such as
the corporate slogan "In here it's always Friday." Staff has supported many instances in
this area for restaurants wanting to utilize these corporate slogans, as evidenced in the
attached photographs. However, in order to recommend these slogans and permit them
accordingly, the slogan is either directly or indirectly incorporated into the larger sign
indicating the name of the business itself. If on another plane, the sign constitutes a
separate wall sign, by ordinance; the number of wall signs allowed within the Design
Overlay District is limited to one per street frontage. Staff and the Planning Commission
recommends in favor of TGI Friday's retaining it's slogan, however it must be
incorporated into the design of the overall sign face, and meet the size requirements set
forth in the Unified Development Code.
DISCUSSION
This item was heard at the regular Planning Commission on May 23, 2005. The Large
Scale Development was approved with a vote of 9-0-0. The applicant has submitted an
appeal of the Planning Commission decision to the City Clerk within the 10 -day appeal
period.

LSD 05-1468: Large Scale Development (t"GI FRIDAY'S, 173): Submitted by
MCCLELLAND CONSULTING ENGINEERS for property located at Lou 16B, CMN 11, 463
E. VAN ASCIIE DRIVE. The property is zoned C-2, THORO(JGHFARE COMMERCIAL and
contains approximately 2.10 acres. The request is to approve the development of a restaurant
with approximately 6,586 square feet (SE) and 116 parking spaces proposed.
Property Owner: NANCIIAR INC. Property Owner: MARJORIE I3ROOKS
Submittal on behalf of: STEVE BELL Planner: JEREMY PATE
Findings:
Background: The 4.53 -acre Lot 16 parent tract was split into Lots 16a and 16b consisting of
2.43 and 2.10 acres, respectively, in February 2004. The subject Lot 16h is undeveloped and Lot
I6a to the south contains Logan's Roadhouse Restaurant. Logan's Roadhouse Restaurant targe
Scale Development was approved in March 2004. As part of the approval process for Logan's
Roadhouse, a Conditional Use Permit was issued to allow additional parking spaces over the
number allowed by city ordinance.
Property: The subject property is located within the city's Design Overlay District at the
southeast corner of Mall Avenue and Van Ashe Drive, adjacent to Logan's Roadhouse restaurant
and directly across from the Olive Garden restaurant. The property has street frontage and
ingress/egress on both of these Collector streets. A north -south trending drainage on the western
edge of the site contains a floodplain and wetlands. A single stand of willow trees associated
with this unnamed tributary to Mud Creek supports 1,800 SF of tree canopy; however, none of
the trees on the property are significant or champion specimens. Currently there is no
development on the site.

Proposal: The applicant proposes to construct a TGI Friday's restaurant in the Steele Crossing
Subdivision. The subject property, Lot 16b, has frontage onto both Van Ashe Drive and Mall
Avenue, and is located within the Design Overlay District. Along with Large Scale Development
approval, the applicant seeks a Conditional Use Permit for 116 parking spaces; a maximum of 90
are allowed by right.
Request: The request is for Large Scale Development approval of the submitted site plans for
TGI Friday's. Associated with this request, but not officially heard until Planning Commission,
is a Conditional Use request to allow more parking and a variance to allow additional signage
than that allowed by ordinance. These three items will be heard concurrently by the full
Planning Commission.
Parking: The current parking ratio ordinance requires one (1) parking space per 100 SF of gross
floor area. The number of parking spaces required for this project is thus 66 (6,586 / 100). The
ordinance allows for a maximum number of 30% more parking spaces than the number
permitted. Additionally, the ordinance allows for an additional four (4) parking spaces for a
drive-through window, and the project's `curbside' pick-up qualifies for these spaces. The
maximum number of spaces permitted for this project is therefore 90 parking spaces (66 + 30%
+ 4). The applicant is requesting the Planning Commission to approve a total of 116 parking
spaces, a conditional use for 26 more spaces than what is permitted by ordinance.

Monument Sign Variance Request: llrc applicant is
requesting the Planning Commission approve a monument

slogan "In here it's always Friday" below. the DOD
expressly limits the content of both monument and wall
signage to the name of the business. Surf
recommendation: Approval
Wall Sign: The applicant is allowed one (1) wall sign for
each of the property's street frontages, to be 20% of the
wall area or 200 SF, whichever is Tess. A maximum of two
(2) wall signs are allowed for this project, based on site's
frontage onto two public streets.
IVall Sign Variance Request: The applicant is -requesting
the Planning Commission to approve the following wall
signs:
• Two (2) Targe wall signs depicting "TGI Friday's"
at the restaurant's main entrance, the northeast
corner of the structure. Staff recommendation:
Approval
Two (2) smaller wall signs underneath the large
wall signs depicting TGI Friday's corporate slogan,
"In Here It's Always Friday". Due to these slogans
being on a different wall plane than the larger wall
signs, and due to the slogan not being part of the
corporate name, staff determined these slogans are
each a separate wall sign. Staff recommendation:
See conditions.
• One (I) smaller wall sign depicting "TGI Friday's"
adjacent to the 'curbside' pick-up facility on the
western side of the restaurant. Staff
recommendation: Denial
Additionally, TGI Friday's is requesting directional
signage above the curbside pickup door stating
"Easy Come, Easy Go". This signage is not

•
allowed in the DOD however a' smaller 4 SF
directional wall sign would be allowed at an
entrance or exit for identification. Staff
recommendation: See conditions.
• Curb Cuts: The proposal utilizes a curb cut from Van Asche Drive.
The curb cut meets the minimum distance from an
intersection (250') as required by ordinance. Two shared
access points are proposed through the northwest and
northeast corner of the adjacent Logan's Roadhouse (Lot
16a) property immediately to the south. A
drainage/floodplain is located along the western edge of the
property and precludes access from the west.
• Lighting:
A note has been added to the plat indicating compliance
with this requirement.
• Exterior Appearance: Elevations have been submitted for all four sides of the
building. Planning Commission determination of
architectural treatment of fronts, along with Commercial
Design Standards, is required.
• Building Material:
A materials sample board has been submitted for review.
• Site Coverage: The applicant has complied with the 25% open space
requirement.
• Fencing: N/A
• Outdoor Storage: N/A
• Access: Pedestrian access from the street to the entrance of the
structure by way of a designated walk is provided. Four (4)
bicycle racks are to be provided for multi -modal access.
Tree Preservation: The project would remove all 1,800 SF of tree canopy on the site. However,
no significant trees or groupings exist. The Landscape Administrator has approved tree
preservation measures for this site, and waived the requirement of a Tree Preservation Plan, due
to the approval of the overall Tree Preservation Plan for the CMN Business Park 11.
Recommendation: Staff recommends LSD 05-1468 approval by the Planning Commission
with the following conditions:
Conditions of Approval:
Planning Commission determination of Commercial Design Standards. Based on the
latest elevations submitted, staff finds all elevations and material samples presented
meet the design standards set forth in the UDC. Full color elevations are lo be
K.iReparts1Z0051PC Reports105-23-051LSD 05-1468 (TGs Fridaysf_FMALdoc
presented at the Planning Commission meeting.
Planning Commission detcmunation of the conditional use request for 116 parking
spaces. Staff has reviewed the conditional use requests granted for other restaurants
in the area allowing extra parking and found an average of 36% overage. The subject
request (29% overage) would be consistent with parking variances granted by the
Planning Commission to other vicinity restaurants. Staff supports a conditional use
request for add:Wona! parking on this site due to its inherent separation from
adjacent and different uses with different peak parking demands.
Planning Commission detcrrnitiation of sign variances.
Staff recommends approval of the monument sign requested with the slogan
"In here it's always Friday" added, which is in keeping 'with other signs and
slogans permitted in the area.
Staffrecommends approval of the two large wall signs depicting TGI Friday's
at the main entrance, given that they meet size requirements.
.Staff recommends denial of the smaller slogans underneath the large wall
�' signs; unless they are incorporated into the overall larger sign and also meet
DO( size requirements, which is also in keeping with other signs permitted in
the area that have a slogan integrated into the sign face.
Staff recommends denial of the additional 'd'Gi Friday's wall sign on the west
facade. Staff has reviewed the sign variance requests granted for other
restaurants in the area allowing extra signage and found that an average of
one additional sign has been allowed when unusual conditions exist on the
site requiring a third sign - such as poor visibility or inability to provide a
monument sign. The decision for approval of a sign variance is based on a set
of criteria that unusual conditions/circumstances are particular to the subject
land, structure, or building involved and which are not applicable to other
lands, structures, or buildings in the same district. Staff does not find that the
subject site has unusual conditions/circumstances not applicable to other
land, stn/ctures, or buildings in the district that would require additional wall
signs. The site has /sigh visibility front two street frontages and staff is not
aware of special conditions that would warrant a sign variance.

Re: Conditional Use Application for Parking Variance — Lot 168 CMN Business Park
REVISIONS BASED UPON MEETINGS WITH CITY PLANNING STAFF
TGI Friday's proposed restaurant is a stand-alone facility consisting of approximately 6,586
square feet of building area. T.G.I. Friday's estimates its Fayetteville restaurant to serve an
average of 800 to 1000 patrons per business day. Hours of operation will be from 11:00 am to
12:00 am Sunday through Thursday and extending closing to 1:00 am Friday and Saturday.
Normal amounts of staff will range between 25 and 30 people during any given time of day.
Per section 172.05 of the UDC, Restaurants require 1 parking space per 100 square feet of GFA
(plus
rmi woo 30%) plus 4 parking spaces per drive -thio window. Therefore our 6,586 square
facilityfoot require between 46 (minimum) and 86 (maximum) parking spaces plus an
additional 4 parking spaces for a traditional drive-thru (50 (minimum) and 90 (maximum)). Similar
to a traditional drive-thru, T.G.I. Friday's plans to provide guest pick-up services, allowing patrons
to call ahead food orders and pick them up without having to actually enter the facility.
Assuming a minimum of 25 parking spaces are to be utilized by T.G.I. Friday's staff and another 3
parking spaces dedicated for the pick up service, a maximum of 62 parking spaces would be
available for restaurant patrons (without the conditional use). The restaurant is proposing a total
of 210 seats. Therefore, in order for T.G.I. Friday's to meet it's expected daily average of 75%
capacity, the average automobile would be required to carry 2.5 people and in order to reach full
capacity the average automobile would be required to carry 3.4 people. T.G.I. Friday's cannot
risk their parking lot Ring to capacity before their dining tables are occupied.
Lot 16 has limited shared parking opportunities. On -street, parallel parking is not an option. Van
Asche Drive on the North, Mall Avenue on the East and Shiloh Drive on the South surrounds Lot
16 on three sides. The existing creek, wetland, and floodway prevent access to the large parking
lots to the West. The entirety of Lot 16 consists of two parcels or land to be utilized by
restaurants (Logan's and T.G.I. Friday's), both with similar peak -use demand times. T.G.I.
Friday's has partnered with the existing Logan's Steakhouse Restaurant to improve access
between the two adjacent sites and thus maximize usage of the parking spaces available.
Proposed are 116 total spaces to be provided to serve the proposed T.G.I. Friday's. This number
represents 26 parking spaces (28.9%) over the maximum number of parking spaces allowed
without obtaining a conditional use. Using the same method of calculating building square footage
as our immediate neighbors, this makes TGI Friday's conditional use request one of the lowest in
the area.
T.G.I. Friday's has traditionally been a very popular restaurant and looks forward to doing
business in the Fayetteville area. As with other popular restaurants in this vicinity, limited parking
capacity has proved to be a persistent challenge- We request that both City Staff recommends
and Planning Commission approves our request for additional parking spaces.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding this request,
Thanks,

Re: Signage Variance — Three Nall Signs Proposed
The proposed TGI Friday's front two collector streets (Van Asche and Mall Ave.) along
it's northern and castem side respectfully and is therefore allowed two (2) wall signs by
ordinance.
Due to both the natural, high degree of visibility of the TGI Friday's lot (Lot I6B) and
the additional connectivity to the Logan's lot, the proposed TGI Friday's has no real rear
or side elevations — all four sides of the building have been reviewed and designed as
though they front a street or intersection. Even the southern, `rear' elevation (the
elevation containing the service yard and trash enclosures) would benefit from receiving
a wall sign due to its high degree of visibility.
TGI Friday's respectfully requests a third, smaller wall sign adjacent to the pick=up
facility along the western side of the building. This pick-up facility and associated wall
sign is intended to be observed by patrons who call-in dinner orders ahead of time and
come to the restaurant to pick them up `curbside'. The intent of this `curbside' pick-up
facility is to have restaurant patrons by-pass the restaurant's main entrance located at the
northeast comer of the building and receive their service from the western side.
The pair of large, stylized TGI Friday's wall signs designates the main entrance to the
restaurant — allowing traditional patrons to come inside and sit down for a meal.
Conversely, the smaller, inconspicuous TGI Friday's wall sign would designate the
smaller, `curbside' entrance to the restaurant. Traditional drive-through facilities direct
traffic around a building, past a ordering kiosk and in the direction of a pick-up window —
relying upon traditional building and monument signage to direct customers to the
facility. Contemporary `curbside' pick-up facilities, lacking the assistance ofa
designated drive-through lane, require an additional, albeit smaller piece of wall signage
to indicate where patrons can pick-up their orders.
