Commission approves Rodeo Drive drive‑through site plan with sidewalk contingency
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a site plan for a proposed 0.29‑acre drive‑through on Rodeo Drive (under contract to Colton King), contingent on updated plans that include a five‑foot sidewalk and final engineering approvals for aprons and ADA compliance.
Speaker 1, an unidentified meeting participant presenting the staff report, said the proposal was for a site plan approval for a drive‑through location on Rodeo Drive, "proposed to go on 0.29 acres, I believe," and identified Colton King as the prospective purchaser under contract.
Staff described key design elements: drive‑through only (no interior lobby), some outside seating, stormwater draining to an existing storm drain on Rodeo Drive, and required grade work to meet the street. Speaker 1 noted updated plans including a "5 foot sidewalk" had been added to the materials but the electronic file could not be displayed at the meeting; staff said final apron and ADA details would be completed during engineering review.
Commission questions focused on parking and queuing, with staff confirming parking meets code and the site provides queuing designed to keep traffic from spilling onto the public street. Commissioners also asked about food preparation; the applicant clarified the business will use an off‑site bakery and will not fry foods on‑site.
Speaker 2 moved to approve the site plan on the condition the updated plans include the sidewalk; Speaker 3 seconded. The motion passed.
Why it matters: The approval clears a path for development of a small‑footprint drive‑through business at a retail node on Rodeo Drive, subject to final engineering sign‑offs and the inclusion of a sidewalk in the construction plans.
What comes next: Staff will complete engineering review, verify apron and ADA compliance, and issue final administrative approvals prior to building permits.
