Planning commission approves double drive‑through at 2915 Brittany Court
Summary
The Hillcrest City Planning Commission on Feb. 2 approved a minor amendment allowing a double drive‑through and second vehicle height detector at 2915 Brittany Court for a Culver’s franchisee, incorporating staff findings that the change fits the PUD and would not increase density.
The Hillcrest City Planning Commission voted to approve a minor amendment to the final site plan for 2915 Brittany Court on Feb. 2, allowing a double drive‑through order canopy and an additional vehicle height detector for a Culver’s franchisee.
Planning staff presented petition PDA02 and recommended approval, saying the change is compatible with the site’s planned unit development (PUD), would not increase density and should not negatively affect adjacent properties. Staff noted the configuration is intended to reduce wait times and maintain sequential order for customer orders.
Trey Watts of Springfield Sign, who said he represents the Culver’s franchisee, told commissioners the staff report “very thoroughly” covered the request and that double drive‑throughs have become standard for many new restaurants since the COVID‑19 pandemic. He said the configuration will reduce customer wait times and improve efficiency.
A commissioner asked whether Britney/Brittany Court is a municipal street; staff replied it is a private lane and noted prior vehicle queuing had at times backed up into that lane. A commissioner said the two‑lane configuration could help reduce queuing into the adjacent private lane and improve public safety on site.
Unidentified Speaker 4, who moved approval, said the two‑lane drive‑through design is increasingly common and cited prior approvals for similar configurations. The motion to approve, made “based on the staff recommendation,” was seconded and carried on a roll call with all recorded votes in favor.
No public commenters appeared for this item. The commission incorporated the staff recommendations as its findings of fact when approving the minor amendment.
