• • • STAFF ORIGINATOR: P & Z MEETING DATE: TOPIC: BACKGROUND AGENDA ITEM V. D Jeff Smyser March 8, 2006 PUBLIC HEARING Conditional Use Permit - Accessory Drive Through Facility and - Restaurant Outdoor Dining Facilities Millers Crossroads Shopping Center The Millers Crossroads development was approved in 2003 with Resolution 03 -142. The project includes one commercial lot at the corner of Birch St. and Hodgson Rd. This lot received approval for a conditional use permit for a daycare business that would have filled part of a commercial building. That business did not materialize and the building was never constructed. The current proposal includes a coffee shop in the east end of the building and a Subway sandwich shop in the west end. The applicant has requested a conditional use permit for an accessory drive through and outdoor seating for the coffee shop. A public hearing is required for a conditional use permit. If these facilities were not requested, the building itself would be reviewed administratively. The proposed building is similar to what was approved in 2003. The parking requirements for restaurant uses is higher than for retail or office uses. Adding two restaurant uses to the site increases parking requirements beyond what the original 2003 review assumed. A variance would be needed to allow fewer parking spaces than the ordinance requires. ANALYSIS The table below identifies the existing land use and zoning as well as guided land uses for the area.
