McDonald’s seeks formal approval to expand drive‑thru, add second lane and operate 24 hours at East Hill Creek Road site
Summary
Staff presented plans for a second drive‑thru lane, entrance/exit reconfiguration and landscape upgrades at the McDonald’s at 1632 East Hill Creek Road and recommended approval; the site is legally nonconforming because it opened before current regulations and needs a traditional use permit to expand and to continue 24‑hour operation.
Planning staff presented a request from the operator of the McDonald’s at 1632 East Hill Creek Road for a traditional use permit to expand the existing drive‑thru by adding a second drive‑thru lane and to continue operating 24 hours a day.
Staff said the site opened in 1980 and is therefore legally nonconforming for its existing drive‑thru and hours; because the applicant proposes to expand the drive‑thru, the site must come into conformance through a conditional/traditional use permit. The proposal includes a second drive‑thru lane, upgraded landscaping and changes to the front‑of‑site access: the entrance nearest the intersection would be restricted to right‑in only and an adjacent opening would be reconfigured as a right‑turn exit to improve traffic flow and reduce conflicts.
Staff recommended approval subject to the conditions in the staff report. The transcript records questions from commissioners but does not show the planning commission’s final vote in the provided excerpt.
