Commission approves Donato's multi-tenant building with drive-through
Summary
The commission approved a 6,929‑square‑foot, three‑tenant building that includes a permitted Donato's drive‑through, subject to staff conditions and a 6‑inch pedestal base for lighting poles instead of the originally detailed 36 inches.
The Planning Commission approved a final development plan for a 6,929‑square‑foot, three‑tenant building that will include a Donato's restaurant with a permitted drive-through.
Planning staff described the 1.22‑acre site at Smiths Mill Road and Beach Crossing in the Beach Crossing zoning district and said the plan met development standards for parking, stacking, setbacks and lot coverage, while recommending conditions: revise proposed Smiths Mill Road trees to match the master landscaping plan and adjust a leisure trail alignment to match adjacent sites and provide evergreen utility screening. MKSK (the landscape reviewer) recommended evergreen shrubs to screen utilities and minor trail modifications.
Engineering requested standard clarifications including removal of “preliminary not for construction” notes, parking-required line in the site data table, showing regional basins for stormwater, easement instrument numbers, stop bar locations and a fire-truck turning analysis.
Applicant Carter Veen said the team accepted staff conditions and requested a sixth condition to reduce the photometric pedestals from 36 inches to 6 inches; staff said they supported that change. The commission admitted the documents and approved the final development plan 4-0 with staff conditions and the additional 6‑inch pedestal condition.
Next steps: Applicant to submit final construction plans addressing engineering comments and to coordinate final sign designs with staff once tenant identities are confirmed.
