Summary

Council approved a special use permit (Ordinance 18 39) for an HTO quick-service tea shop with a full drive-through; franchisees said the business will hire locally and donate product at opening.

Staff presented a special-use-permit application for a roughly 2,100-square-foot quick-service restaurant with a drive-through in the Vistas at Silver Creek plan-development district. Because the drive-through faces Highway 423, the applicant proposed faux glazing to maintain an active-storefront appearance from the right-of-way while keeping the drive-through orientation.

Applicants Josh and Anna (local franchisees) described HTO as a family-friendly iced-tea concept that would hire 15–20 local employees, support schools and civic groups, and provide community outreach at opening. Planning & Zoning had recommended approval (7–0).

Council voted to adopt Ordinance 18 39, granting the special use permit subject to the plan-development requirements.

What’s next: With the SUP approved, the project will proceed to permitting and construction under the plan-development standards cited by staff.
