Council approves Foosackley’s drive‑through and 72‑foot medical office building in Stadium Trace Village
Summary
The council granted conditional use approvals for a Foosackley’s quick‑service restaurant with drive‑through at Grove Boulevard and for an approximately 80,000‑square‑foot outpatient surgical center and medical office building in Stadium Trace Village Phase 2. Both received positive recommendations from the planning commission and were approved by
The Hoover City Council on Oct. 13 approved two conditional‑use applications: a Foosackley’s quick‑service restaurant including a drive‑through at 5552 Grove Boulevard, and an approximately 80,000‑square‑foot outpatient surgical center and medical office building in Stadium Trace Village Phase 2.
City planning staff told the council the Foosackley’s site is on a planned commercial parcel at the Grove Shopping Center and would include about 120 seats with drive‑through service. The planning commission recommended approval contingent on submission of a tree conservation plan, site civil and building plans that substantially conform to the conditional‑use submittal, and receipt of a certificate of occupancy and business license before opening. The council approved the resolution after the public hearing.
The Stadium Trace Village Phase 2 project was presented as an 80,000‑square‑foot outpatient surgical center and medical office building that requires conditional‑use approval for additional height beyond the 60‑foot limit in the C‑2 zoning district; the proposal is for a 72‑foot structure. The planning commission’s approval is conditional on civil and building plans substantially conforming to the submittal, required traffic improvements from the submitted study being completed to the satisfaction of the city engineer prior to a certificate of occupancy, future site alterations requiring new conditional‑use applications, and obtaining a certificate of occupancy and business license prior to opening. The council closed the public hearings and approved the conditional‑use resolutions.
Why it matters: both approvals clear regulatory steps for commercial development that will change land use and traffic in the affected commercial corridors. The medical office building includes a height increase approval tied to conditional‑use standards in the zoning ordinance.
No votes to deny or conditions beyond the listed planning‑commission contingencies were placed on either approval during the meeting.
