Loading...
Summary
The council approved a 2,554 sq ft Dairy Queen with drive-through at Outlot B of the Elevage EB development, granting an amended PUD, site-plan approval, and preliminary/final plat together (Resolution 2026‑21) subject to final PUD agreement and listed conditions; council also approved increased signage allowances in the proposal.
The East Bethel City Council on April 13 approved a multi-part application to allow a Dairy Queen with drive-through at Outlot B of the Elevage EB development, south of the existing Kwik Trip near 187th Lane and Sand Hill Parkway Northeast.
Planning staff (speaker 14) said the application from P Magnus Inc. and EB Commercial LLC included an amended planned unit development (PUD), site-plan review for a proposed 2,554‑square‑foot restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating and a drive‑through, and both a preliminary and final plat to create Lot 1, Block 1 DQ East Bethel. The proposal is consistent with the mixed‑use guidance in the city’s 2040 comprehensive plan and the city’s zoning.
The applicant requested deviations related to signage: increasing maximum permitted sign area from 144 square feet to 209 square feet and reducing the freestanding sign setback from 20 feet to approximately 12 feet. Staff said glazing and building materials meet the city’s architectural standards and that the final PUD amendment agreement would be brought back to council once outstanding details are finalized.
Councilmember (speaker 3) moved to approve Resolution 2026‑21 to adopt the PUD amendment, site plan, and plats; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote with no opposition. Staff noted the planning commission had held a public hearing and recommended approval. The council asked that staff return with a final PUD amendment agreement that documents the conditions and any required sureties.
