Provo plans new Chick-fil-A and two buildings with drive-thrus on North County Boulevard

A significant development proposal took center stage at the Pleasant Grove City Council meeting on April 22, 2025, as discussions revolved around a new commercial project set to transform the northeast corner of North County Boulevard. The proposed site, located just south of Summit Pizza, aims to accommodate three new buildings, including a drive-thru restaurant, pending the approval of a site plan currently under review.

The property owner, Pete Rossi, in collaboration with Wright Development, is seeking to purchase a small portion of city-owned land adjacent to the existing road to facilitate additional parking for the new establishments. This request has sparked conversations about the implications for traffic and pedestrian safety, particularly as patrons will need to cross the road to access the restaurants.

Council members expressed their support for the sale of the property, emphasizing the economic benefits it could bring to the city. However, concerns were raised regarding the safety of pedestrians crossing the busy road, especially given that parking will be situated on the opposite side. The council is keen to ensure that any site plan approved will address these safety issues adequately.

While the site plan is still in its early stages and has not yet been presented to the planning commission, the council reiterated that the sale of the land will not proceed until a comprehensive site plan is approved. This decision reflects a commitment to balancing development with community safety and infrastructure needs.

As the project moves forward, residents and stakeholders will be watching closely to see how the city navigates these challenges while fostering economic growth in Pleasant Grove.
