PLANNING STAFF: APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS.
PLANNING STAFF ANALYSIS: The requested Special Land Use Permit for a drive-through restaurant is suitable at the subject location. Use of the property for a restaurant is consistent with the use of commercial properties in the surrounding area. The proposed drive-through restaurant is not expected to create adverse effects on adjoining and nearby properties in the Toco Hills shopping center and surrounding Town Center activity center. The proposal is consistent with the following policy of the 2035 Comprehensive Plan for Town Centers: “Each Town Center shall include a high-density mix of residential, retail, office, services, and employment to serve several neighborhoods.” (Town Center Policy No. 22). Therefore, the Department of Planning and Sustainability recommends, “Approval with the attached conditions”.
