Subject 531 West 79th Street: Approval of Site Plan to construct Panera Bread
Section NEW BUSINESS Item No: H.3.
Prepared By Bob Generous, Senior Planner File No: PC 201802
PROPOSED MOTION
“City Council approves the site plan for a 4,500 squarefoot, onestory restaurant with drivethrough facilities, plans
prepared by CEI Engineering Associates, Inc. dated revised November 30, 2017, subject to the conditions of the
staff report, as amended, and adopts the Planning Commission’s Findings of Fact.”
Council approval requires a Simple Majority Vote of members present.
SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting site plan approval to construct a 4,500 squarefoot, onestory restaurant with drive
through facilities using Exterior Insulating Finishing System (EIFS) as a primary building material.
BACKGROUND
Planning Commission Summary
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on January 2, 2018 to review the proposed site plan. The Planning
Commission voted 5 0 to recommend approval of the site plan subject to the conditions of the staff report. The
Planning Commission agreed with staff that additional architectural articulation should be made to the building and that
these changes be prepared prior to City Council review.
Planning Commission minutes for January 2, 2018 are included in the consent agenda for the January 22, 2018 City
Council packet.
DISCUSSION
Staff has been working extensively with the applicant to develop building architectural detailing that meets the city’s
expectations. The applicant has responded with the attached building elevations dated January 15, 2018, which
comply with city ordinances.
The building consists of two tones of EIFS, white and gray, with graystone brick finish at the entrance, the drive
through, and as a base material around the entire building. The applicant has also incorporated additional windows on
the north, west, and south elevations. In areas where transparent windows were not appropriate, spandrel windows
are being installed. The canopies above the entrance and the drivethrough will be painted a contrasting color from the

The applicant has responded with the attached building elevations dated January 15, 2018, whichcomply with city ordinances. The building consists of two tones of EIFS, white and gray, with graystone brick finish at the entrance, the drivethrough, and as a base material around the entire building. The applicant has also incorporated additional windows on
the north, west, and south elevations. In areas where transparent windows were not appropriate, spandrel windows
are being installed. The canopies above the entrance and the drivethrough will be painted a contrasting color from the
windows and doors. They are currently leaning toward the use of Berber White.
The applicant has provided support material regarding the EIFS finish that assures staff that the material is of the
highest quality and will be reinforced to a minimum of six feet above grade with a mesh that will help protect the
material from penetrations. Staff has queried the building official regarding the use of EIFS and was assured that it
provides an exterior finish comparable to stucco. Given the specifications of the system being proposed, staff supports
its use in the building elevations as shown.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the site plan for Panera Bread subject to the amended conditions of approval.

Good afternoon Bob,
(Sorry for the ghost email, mouse got away from me).
• Panera will agree to use spandrel windows @ our dark colored ‘Faux’ windows.
• Panera will agree to paint the canopy(ies) as well as the patio railing system a contrasting color
(we’re currently leaning on the Berber White #955 (same color as the light colored EIFS) to have
them stand out a bit more.
• Mechanical Equipment are screened from view. Yes you can see the tippy top of them from our
straight on elevations. But they will be screened from view. Reference the multiple 3d images
from roadways on sheet A300. Also per the city ordinance “they shall be located so as not to
be visible from any public way”.
• Noted on the signage. Panera are going to keep our current signage as is for the time being.
• Reinforcing mesh shall be utilized to 6’ AFF as a minimum.
If there is anything I missed or if you need anything addition, please let me know. I’ll be working on the
elevations over the weekend per the above comments.

I talked to the Community Development Director and she said that if Panera Bread agrees to these
conditions, then we could process it without having the revised building elevations for the City Council

Matt,
I took your revised elevations to the City Manager and Community Development Director. They think
the architecture has improved immensely, but you’re still not there.
Following are revisions needed to get this to City Council.
Use spandrel windows in all the applications that are not glass windows. We are already giving you a
break by not requiring that fifty percent of the first floor facade that is viewed by the public be designed
to include transparent windows and/or doors to minimize expanses of blank walls. (Section 20-1068)
The entrance still needs additional attention. Incorporate a contrasting material color for the entrance
canopy. Could you use the same color as the canopy (Sunbrella-Aspen- Is that the Panera green?)?
The railing/fencing system for the patio should also be a contrasting color?
Mechanical equipment and other utility hardware, whether located on the roof or exterior of the
building or on the ground adjacent to it, shall be screened from the public view and with materials
identical to or strongly similar to building materials or by heavy landscaping that will be effective in
winter or they shall be located so as not to be visible from any public way. Use of parapet walls or
pitched roof elements to screen equipment is encouraged. In no case shall wooden fencing be used as a
rooftop equipment screen. Show that the equipment is screened. In the elevations, they appear to stick
up above the parapet in the “realistic elevations”.
Note that the “Drive thru” sign is not permitted on the building. Additionally, signage is only permitted
on two building elevations. A separate sign variance application would be necessary to review this. If
you take them off, I won’t have to comment on them.
We can support the use of the EIFS system, but we will require that it be the Outsulation system with
hydroponic coating to installed with proprietary reinforcing meshes up to six feet above grade.
I’ll need to know if these changes will be made. Let me know by tomorrow so I can keep it on the 1/22
City Council agenda. I need revised elevations by next Tues 1/16 to add to the packet.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me.

Absolutely.
Our decision to use an EIFS system for the exterior is essentially the outcome of the climate the project
is located within. Given current Energy Code standards, there is a need/requirement for continuous
insulation around the perimeter of the building. A stucco application with this particular energy code
requirement would hinder the construction of the exterior wall assembly in a way that the exterior walls
would need multiple layers of plywood/sheathing to essentially ‘sandwich’ rigid insulation. An addition
cost that is removed with an EIFS system. For example, stucco cannot be applied directly on rigid
insulation. So the wall construction would be constructed as such:
• Working to the exterior from Stud
o Metal Stud
o Sheathing
o Vapor/Moisture Barrier
o Rigid Insulation (±2inches)
o Sheathing
o Tar Paper
o Lathe
o Stucco
With an EIFS system, the wall construction uses considerably less materials.
• Working to the Exterior from Stud
o Metal Stud
o Sheathing
o Vapor/Moisture Barrier
o EIFS system (±2inch thickness)
The overall outcome of an EIFS finish system has been dramatically better than with a stucco
application. I feel Stucco has its uses in certain climates (Southern States) but for a frigid and harsh
winter climate with dramatic temperature shifts throughout the year, the proposed EIFS system will
have a dramatic effect to the overall energy performance of the project. That’s not including the overall
performance of the specification I added previously.
There was a concern of EIFS impact resistance. As indicated in the specification, we do have the ability
to install proprietary reinforcing meshes. https://youtu.be/38GwJLZpu6c not the same manufacturer,
but Dryvit/BASF are equal products and there is another video using Sto’s system which I can share as
well.
As for additional EIFS features we have included the step back custom cornice on the EIFS part and the
stepped out brick on the brick. No Quoins. Recesses at the faux windows. Vertical reveals between the
windows on the EIFS.

Matt,
Could you provide a write-up about what and why you are proposing the use of this system.
Also, do you intend to provide dramatic architectural details and design effects, such as reveals, quoins,
cornices and trim?

Good morning Bob,
I do, I have a lot of literature on the EIFS specification. And a few video’s as well.
As Dan has mentioned, this product is top tier quality. And has been used on many Panera’s throughout
the US and has held up very well.
Video of its Hydrophobic Properties (meaning it will stay clean/dryer): https://youtu.be/laUmzbquDK4
Video of the ‘Lymestone’ texture installation which is a 2-3 step process: https://youtu.be/vmtbrwdaug4
The actual EIFS system is the “Outsulation Plus MD system” which I have attached a brochure. And I
have included a comparison ‘cladding’ chart. Pay specific attention to the Outsulation system vs
Conventional Stucco.
Please let me know if you require any additional information. Hopefully I don’t overload you with
information.
Last note: In the PDF document labeled as ‘all-in-one” 3rd page, there is a ‘high impact’ detail. This would
typically be installed on the bottom 4-5ft of the wall as well as at any corners/opening perimeters/etc.
Thanks for your time!

Matt,
Do you have any literature, specifications or brochures for the EIFS system they are proposing to
use? According to Dan, it is a beefed up version.
