Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the Conditional Use Permit. There were no comments at the public hearing.
Background
The applicant is proposing to construct a 4,007 square foot Taco Bell restaurant on a lot in Central Avenue Acres 3rd Addition, which is east of the Lowe’s home improvement store on 117th Avenue and Highway 65. Auto Zone is directly adjacent to the east of this lot. The site is zoned PBD (Planned Business District) and every use in this district requires a conditional use permit, which is what is currently being requested.
Again, the proposed restaurant building is 4,007 square feet in size and a drive-thru is being proposed that wraps around the west side of the building. The site requires 40 parking stalls to be consistent with ordinance requirements and there are 42 parking stalls provided on site.
In the PBD zoning district, all sites must comply with the Highway 65 Overlay requirements per the direction of the City Council, so the building and the landscaping must comply with those requirements.
The proposed building is being constructed with metal, glass and EIFS and it meets the requirements of the zoning ordinance and specifically the Highway 65 Overlay District. The landscape plan that has been provided also meets the same requirements.
All signage must meet the requirements set forth in the zoning ordinance and a separate permit must be obtained, including temporary signage.
All lighting must be downlit and shielded to prevent glare or spill. Freestanding lights are limited to not more than 40 feet in height as this was allowed on other sites in this development.
It appears as though trash is handled inside the building on this site. If the trash is ever to be stored outside of the building a dumpster enclosure that matches the building must be provided.
Park dedication was previously paid when the lot was platted in 2009.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
