THE TOWN OF CENTREVILLE 101 LAWYERS ROW CENTREVILLE, MD 21617

MEMORANDUM
To: Town of Centreville Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Peter Flint, Zoning Administrator
Date: 1/20/2026
Subject: Centreville Business Park, Lots N, O, & P – Architectural Review – Revised Submittal
Introduction: Project History and Status
The Planning and Zoning Commission (“Commission”) conditionally approved the Final Site Plan for
Lots N, O, and P within the Centreville Business Park at its April 16, 2025, meeting. One condition
requires Commission review of architectural elevations prior to final approval. Signage is not part of the
architectural approval and will be reviewed under a future comprehensive shopping center signage plan
following adoption of the related zoning text amendment.
The applicant subsequently submitted architectural elevations for review. Staff documented initial
comments in the November 12, 2025, staff memorandum.
At its November 19, 2025, meeting, the Commission reviewed the architectural submittal and took no
action, finding the package incomplete and directing the applicant to resubmit a complete package
addressing the staff comments. The Commission’s discussion focused on completeness of elevations,
façade articulation (including long elevations facing public view), weather protection/canopies,
roofline/parapet continuity and screening, lighting fixture information, dumpster/service screening, and
confirmation of exterior finishes/materials.
At its December 17, 2025, meeting, the Commission held an informal, non-action discussion focused on
proposed revisions to the Advance Auto Parts storefront and reiterated that sign copy should be omitted
from elevation drawings for design review purposes. This discussion was intended to provide guidance
prior to resubmission and did not constitute approval.
The applicant has now submitted a revised architectural package dated January 7, 2026, along with a
written response letter describing how the revised plans address staff comments. The applicant is
requesting Commission action on architectural approval.
Current Submittal: January 7, 2026
The January 7, 2026, submittal includes:
• Applicant response/transmittal letter addressing the November 12, 2025, staff comments.
• Revised architectural sheets with complete elevations and associated plan exhibits.
• Exterior Building Finishes and Site Amenities Specifications
• Exterior Lighting Specifications
• Trash enclosure details

No site plan revisions are included with this submittal, and no changes to the previously approved site
layout are proposed.
Staff Review Summary
Staff reviewed the applicant’s January 7, 2026, resubmittal and response letter to confirm the package is
complete for Commission action and responsive to the staff comments documented in the November 12,
2025, memo.
Based on staff’s review of the revised elevations and specifications included in the packet, staff finds that
the resubmittal provides the missing/clarifying information discussed at the November 19, 2025, meeting,
including complete elevations, added/dimensioned articulation, weather protection details, lighting fixture
specifications, and service-area enclosure details.
Signage is not part of this architectural action and remains deferred to a future comprehensive shopping
center signage plan following Town Council action on the sign ordinance amendment.
Staff Recommendation
1. Approve the updated architectural elevations and associated specification/detail sheets dated
January 7, 2026, for Lots N, O, and P.
2. Confirm this approval does not include signage, and that signage will be reviewed separately by
the Commission under a comprehensive signage plan following adoption of the sign ordinance
amendment.
