Commission approves detailed site plan and variances for Harmony Bank in Mid Park (unanimous)
The commission unanimously approved a detailed site plan and three variances for a 4,000-square-foot Harmony Bank on a 0.783-acre lot in the Mid Park Addition. The project includes a drive-through with three lanes and a financial institution building; the applicant requested a reduction in drive-through stacking from six spaces to two spaces per lane and approval of two building signs on a single façade.

Staff described the project as consistent with the New Town module of the comprehensive plan and with development patterns in the Mid Park area. Staff said the proposed façade materials match surrounding buildings and that the landscape plan exceeds parking-lot tree requirements; dumpster screening will match the primary structure. The site has two planned drive accesses on South Fourteenth Street and a median opening that the applicant intends to signalize.

No written correspondence was received from nearby property owners (staff mailed nine postcards within 200 feet). Planning staff recommended approval of the detailed site plan including the three variances; Commissioner Skinner moved to approve, and Commissioner Killian seconded. The vote was unanimous.

Staff said final engineering, signage permits and construction plans will be reviewed through standard permitting channels and must conform to the approved detailed site plan and variances.
