- Site Plan, Landscape Plan, and Building Elevations for the proposed exterior and site improvements.
PLAN COMMISSION DISCUSSION
Present at the Plan Commission were 6 commissioners (with 1 member absent), members of staff, members of the public, and the petitioner. Following the staff presentation, the commissioners discussed their support of the project and, outside of a few questions for clarification, did not have further items for discussion.
The Plan Commission reviewed the existing parking lot at the former Red Robin site and found it to be adequate to serve both CAVA and a future tenant. The Commission also reviewed the petitioner’s modification request and found it acceptable, concluding that the proposal is appropriate for the site and will not adversely affect the quality of life of nearby establishments or residents. In addition, Commissioners complimented the overall site design, noting the use of brick throughout the building facades, as well as landscape improvements.
Overall, the project was unanimously recommended for approval by the Plan Commission 6-0-1 with the Staff Recommended Action. This item is now before the Board for consideration.
