REPORT OF PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION 
AUGUST 7, 2025

recommended for approval with a modification to provide more standard conformance 
language.   
 
The stipulated site plan depicted a commercial project comprising an approximately 
4,000 square foot drive-through bank, an approximately 2,000 square foot drive-
through restaurant, and an approximately 12,500 square foot retail and restaurant 
building. This project did not develop, and the property remains vacant.   
 
The proposed conceptual site plan depicts a 4,852 square foot free standing restaurant 
with a double wide drive-thru, 2 drive-thru canopies, and a trash enclosure separated 
from the building.   
 
The stipulated conceptual elevations depict the commercial buildings with a maximum 
height of 30 feet for the tallest building. Architectural features and detailing include color 
CMU blocks with a brick look, rusted steel trellis, raw formed concrete and stucco.  The 
buildings also feature undulating roof lines and with rusted steel panels and walls. 
 
The conceptual elevations depict two story units with a maximum height of 27 feet, 10 
inches (top of roof).  Architectural features and detailing include brick veneers, metal 
awnings, mansard tile roofs, shade canopies, patios, pop outs, and varied rooflines.  
The proposal is compatible with the land use pattern in the surrounding area.  
 
It should be noted; the site plan does not detail conformance with the zoning 
stipulations from the case.  For example, the ROW dedication shown is 33 feet instead 
of the 55 feet that is stipulated.  In addition, the applicant will be required to adhere to 
Stipulation 2 regarding landscape setbacks and will be required to be shown on the 
landscape plan. 
 
2. 
The site is identified as archaeologically sensitive and three additional stipulations are 
recommended to be included to address requirements for archaeological survey and 
testing. 
 
3. 
The additional stipulation regarding the gateway monument was incorporated to 
address the community's desires as communicated by the appellant.
