The BZ and E Committee approved a conditional-use permit (25-0845) and a related final-plan revision (25-0846) on Nov. 26 to allow a drive-through restaurant at Oakhurst Center (404 North Yolo Road).

Staff described the two-lot site: Lot 1 contains an existing 23,000-square-foot multi-tenant commercial building; Lot 2 is currently used for parking and is proposed for a roughly 2,000-square-foot drive-through building with a single drive-through lane and adjustments to parking. Staff said the proposed parking (130 spaces overall) meets requirements for both lots.

Owner Andy Kovler and civil engineer Emily Hoffman said they do not yet have a tenant committed for the drive-through but seek approval so a tenant can locate there. Kovler said the center has been full for several years and the Lot 2 build-out would activate underused land.

Aldermen moved and seconded the motions and approved both the conditional-use permit and the final-plan revision by voice vote. The committee recorded the motions and forwarded the items consistent with staff recommendations.
