Board approves Circle K plan to redevelop vacant bank at Northgate Mile and Anderson Street
Summary
The board approved a variance letting Circle K place parking and drive aisles inside the standard landscape buffer for a triangular lot redevelopment at Northgate Mile and Anderson Street; staff cited a required 10-foot right-of-way dedication that constrains the buffer.
The board granted Circle K Incorporated a variance to allow parking and drive aisles within the city's landscape buffer so the company can demolish a vacant bank and build a roughly 4,000‑square‑foot convenience store and gas station at Northgate Mile and Anderson Street.
A remote presenter (identified on the record as the applicant's representative) told the board the triangular lot and existing utilities constrain where the 20‑foot landscape buffer can be provided. The proposed site plan shows a 4,000‑square‑foot building, five fuel islands (10 fueling positions) and 17 parking spaces; the project would remove two curb cuts on Anderson Street and propose cross‑access with the adjacent McDonald's.
Staff explained that a required 10‑foot right‑of‑way dedication along the frontage reduces the applicant's ability to meet the full 20‑foot buffer and that granting the variance is consistent with site constraints created by the lot shape and dedication. No members of the public testified for, neutral on, or against the application.
Board members had no outstanding concerns and approved the variance as recommended by staff. The board also approved the related statement of relevant criteria and standards as modified. Staff will finalize the written decision and permit language for signature.
