RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Action
COMMUNITY COUNCIL: Approval with Condition
PLANNING COMMISSION: Approval with Conditions
PLANNING STAFF: Approval
STAFF ANALYSIS: The proposed ATM drive-through lane for the banking institution is compatible with nearby commercial and non- residential uses along N. Decatur Road and Church Street. Located within a Town Center Character Area, the proposed drive-through restaurant is consistent with the 2035 Comprehensive Plan Policies: “… reduce automobile dependency and travel to obtain basic services; and organize circulation patterns through traffic calming techniques and access management.” “Add traffic calming improvements, sidewalks, and increased street interconnections to increase safety and improve walkability.” The proposed commercial development provides property upgrades to the existing site. The Department of Planning and Sustainability recommends, “Approval per Staff’s recommended conditions”.
