Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

This is a request for approval of an amendment to the regulating plan (concept plan) affirming major warrants previously obtained by a former tenant (Salad and Go) for the proposed development of a restaurant with a drive-thru. The 1.3-acre site is generally located on the north side of Stacy Road, west of Highway 5 and is zoned for the (CPDD) Commercial Planned Development District with the Urban Village Sub-district. Applicant: Aaron Hawkins with Quiddity Engineering, representing Village FV LTD.<br><br>The purpose of this application is to request approval of Major Warrants pertaining to use, various site design and architectural standards to accommodate the development of a drive-thru restaurant facility for Roadrunners Coffee shop. The proposal reflects the development of a one-story (Minor Warrant) drive-thru fast-food facility. As proposed, this is a drive-thru facility only with no public entry into an indoor seating area. Therefore, no main public entry is provided and there will not include walk-up service accommodation. The site design includes an expansion of two main drive-thru lanes on the west side with 25 stacking spaces.<br> <br>Both Stacy Road and Southwind Drive are landscaped with the required number for street trees and parking lot screening shrubs as recommended by the code. The site exceeds the minimum number of parking spaces for this proposed development. The building design features a masonry and stucco façade that will be re-faced with the branding of the new tenant, while providing for the façade rhythm recommendations of the CPDD. <br><br>Due to the functional nature of this use and existing conditions, the applicants are requesting major warrants for various sites, frontage, landscape and building design standards. Those warrant requests are summarized in the table below.
