Title
Resolution to Approve South State Street Shell Gas Station/Drive-Thru Restaurant Site Plan, 2991 S. State Street (CPC Recommendation: Approval - 9 Yeas and 0 Nays)
Memorandum
Approval of this resolution will allow for the construction of a new convenience store/drive-thru restaurant on this gas station site.
Petition Summary:
* The Site Plan proposes to demolish the existing convenience store building and car wash for this gasoline filling station and construct a 4,250 square foot convenience store building with drive-thru restaurant on the east side of the site. The existing gas pump island and canopy will be modified as part of the changes, and underground storm water detention facilities will be added. No changes to the curb cuts are proposed.
* The petitioner is requesting approval of a landscape modification to maintain the reduced 4-foot wide right-of-way buffer along S. State Street, allowing for continued use of the two gas pump islands located on the western portion of this site. In exchange for this reduced buffer width, additional landscaping is proposed within the S. State Street and E. Eisenhower Parkway buffers to further screen the vehicular use area.
The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of March 18, 2014, recommended approval of the site plan and landscape modification.
