Summary Explanation and Background
SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND:
Dwayne Dickerson, agent for Chick-Fil-A, is requesting consideration to demolish an existing restaurant outparcel (former Sweet Tomatoes restaurant) at Westfork Plaza and construct a Chick-fil-A restaurant with drive-thru along with associated parking, traffic circulation, canopies, lighting, signage, and landscaping. The subject site is located at 15901 Pines Boulevard.
Westfork Plaza was approved by the Planning and Zoning Board at its October 10, 1996 meeting (SP 95-85). Several amendments to the Westfork Plaza site have been processed over the years with the most recent and noteworthy changes being in 2015 with the addition of several outbuildings to the site as well as significant parking and traffic circulation modifications throughout the shopping center.
The City Commission at its May 5, 1999 meeting approved the site plan for the subject Sweet Tomatoes restaurant outparcel (SP 99-2).
In 2021, the City received the following applications at the subject site for consideration:
· SP 2021-01 - Bombshells Restaurant. Site Plan request to build a new restaurant on the subject site.
· ZV 2021-01 - Parking Variance request for Bombshells Restaurant.
· ZV 2021-02, ZV 2021-03 - Sign Variance requests for Bombshells Restaurant.
The Planning and Zoning Board at its March 11, 2021 meeting voted to defer the variance requests above to the April 8, 2021 meeting. The applicant for the Bombshells restaurant ultimately decided to withdraw the variances and site plan applications from consideration after receiving that deferral from the Board. The site currently remains vacant.
The Planning and Zoning Board at its June 15, 2022 meeting voted to defer this item at the request of the applicant to tonight’s meeting.
