Chairman Kish opened the public hearing at 6:03 p.m.

Planner Guadalupe Ortiz Cortez presented item #2 and #3 together. The Property Owner is the requesting a use permit for two convenience use (Salad and Go restaurant with a drive-through and Black Rock Coffee restaurant with a drive-through) on a 1.6-acre parcel within the Cottonflower PAD. The Property is designated for commercial uses and will be developed in accordance with the PAD’s design guidelines and city’s C-2 (General Commercial) zoning district. As required in the C-2 zoning district, a restaurant with a drive-through must obtain approval of a use permit prior to development. The proposed convenience uses will be a Salad and Go Restaurant with a drive-through and a Black Rock Coffee bar with a drive-through. The Salad and Go restaurant will consist of a single-story, 827 square-foot building. Salad and Go will only provide drive-through and pick-up services for customers (there is no indoor or outdoor dining). The first option is through food sales/pick-up from a pedestrian window located on the north side of the building. The second option is through the conventional drive-through lanes. Customers will place their order at the menu board and speaker, and pay and pick-up their food at the pick-up window. The conventional drive-through lanes meet the city’s former queueing standards of 150 feet. Lastly, the third option is from a vehicular pick-up window on the west side of the building. This vehicular pick-up window is for online/remote purchases only. The vehicular pick-up lane provides queueing for three cars to queue along the pick-up lane. Customer pick-up times are assigned at time of order. The Black Rock Coffee Bar will consist of a single-story, 1,976 square-foot building. Indoor and drive-through services will be provided for customers. Black Rock Coffee will be developed with the conventional double drive-through lane configuration. Customers will enter the drive-through lanes and place their order at the menu board and speaker, and food and beverage products will be picked-up and paid for at the same window. The proposed queuing meets the city’s former queuing standards of 150 feet. On-site parking is being provided.  The on-site parking conforms with applicable city standards. Cross access and shared parking agreements exist for the center that will provide additional overflow parking if needed.

Commission asked if Black Rock Coffee had indoor dining and how much parking was designated for the restaurant. Ms. Ortiz Cortez confirmed that Black Rock Coffee had indoor dining and reviewed the location of the parking within the center.
