Analysis:
The C-2 zoned 1.95-acre property located off Highway 10 was until recently a juicy seafood restaurant. The applicant is proposing the construction of a new 5,218 square foot Chick-Fil-A
restaurant located at the west side of Pleasant Valley Road at Highway 10. The property is surrounded by C-2 and Planned Commercial Development (PCD) properties.
The applicant has stated that they intend to add a canopy system on the west side of
the structure for cover above a two (2) lane divided drive. The canopy system will
be constructed of metal frame and be approximately 55’1” long by 25’ 81/4” wide.
The applicant states the canopy system will extend west from the restaurant structure three-foot 7-inches (3.7) into the side setback line to provide adequate coverage for the drive-thru
lanes.
Section 36-346(d) states, “Side yard shall not less than thirty (30) feet. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance to allow the canopy structure to extend into the side yard
set back.
Staff is supportive of the requested setback variance. Staff views the request as reasonable. Staff believes the proposed addition to the front of the building will have no adverse
impact on the adjacent properties or the general area.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested front yard setback reduction from 30-feet to a minimum of 26.3-feet as outlined in the staff analysis and indicated on the submitted site plan.
