Chase seeks new 2,967-sq.-ft. branch with drive-up ATM at Westridge shopping center
Summary
JPMorgan Chase submitted a final site plan to demolish an existing bank at 1009 West Patrick Street and build a roughly 2,967-square-foot branch with a drive-up ATM, new landscaping, parking repairs and stormwater improvements; the application will go to the Planning Commission for workshop and hearing.
Sherry Kelly, case planner with the Frederick City Planning Department, presented a final site plan for JPMorgan Chase at 1009 West Patrick Street during the city’s community projects meeting. The applicant proposes demolishing the current building and constructing a new, approximately 2,967-square-foot Chase branch with a drive-up ATM, updated parking and added landscaping and stormwater infrastructure.
The project sits within the Westridge shopping center, which was recently rezoned to mixed use. Kelly said the application is the first step in the final site development review and that the project will proceed through the Planning Commission’s workshop and hearing process, where public comment will be accepted.
Reed Cooksey of Stonefield Engineering Design, representing JPMorgan Chase, described the work as a “face lift” to retain the site’s bank use while upgrading design features. “We plan on demolishing that and in place of the existing parking area, build a approximately 3,000 square foot bank with a drive up ATM,” Cooksey said. He noted the existing structure is about 4,000 square feet and the new design will incorporate Chase’s current branding and updated materials.
No public comments were offered at the meeting. Kelly reminded viewers that the Planning Commission workshop and subsequent hearing will be posted publicly and that interested residents may submit comments through the city’s e-comment function or at the Commission meetings.
The Planning Department will continue technical review with the applicant before scheduling the workshop and hearing dates.
