Board of Zoning Appeals approves U.S. Bank special-use permit for Main Street drive‑through ATM
Summary
The Spring Hill Board of Zoning Appeals approved a special-use permit for a U.S. Bank branch at 4907 Main Street that will include a single-lane drive‑through ATM. Staff found the use consistent with the Spring Hill Rising 2040 plan; the board’s approval is subject to site-plan review and building permits.
At its Jan. 21, 2026 meeting, the Spring Hill Board of Zoning Appeals approved a special-use permit (BZA2029-2026) to allow a U.S. Bank branch with a single-lane drive‑through ATM at 4907 Main Street.
A city staff member told the board the application meets the five approval criteria in UDC Article 13.3 and is “consistent with the comprehensive plan and adopted land use policies,” citing the Spring Hill Rising 2040 plan’s designation of the site as a community commerce center. The staff report noted the site is in a C-4 General Commercial District and contains approximately 1.06 acres. Staff recommended approval with two conditions and reminded the board that the applicant must obtain site-plan approval and building permits before construction.
The applicant, Richard Salmon of Little Architects, said the project would renovate the vacant former Hardee’s building and create a full-service interior branch with approximately four offices and a conference room, plus a single-lane drive‑through ATM. “We do meet all the stacking requirements,” Salmon said, adding that the design provides one service position plus four stacking spaces and allows a bypass so vehicles at the ATM will not block parking access.
On utilities, Salmon said the applicant submitted sewer-capacity documentation and that engineers concluded the bank’s expected sewer demand would be significantly less than the former restaurant use. “We have made that submittal … and that has been approved relative to capacity,” he said. The staff report had noted that, while utilities are present on-site, staff did not have final capacity confirmation at the time of the report and required that information before permits are issued.
Board members asked whether additional drive lanes or teller windows would be included; Salmon clarified this site would have a single external ATM lane and interior customer service for teller-type transactions. He also said planned future widening of Main Street is expected to remove on‑street parking at the frontage, which the applicant’s site plan accounts for by reducing paved area and increasing green space.
A board member moved to approve BZA2029-2026; a second was recorded, the chair called the vote and members voiced affirmative votes. The clerk announced the application was approved, and the board congratulated the applicant. The approval is conditioned on satisfying the two conditions listed in the staff report and obtaining subsequent site-plan review and building permits.
Next steps for the applicant include completing the required site-plan approvals and obtaining building permits before beginning renovations and any construction associated with the drive‑through ATM.
