Summary

The board approved a request to reduce a recorded 50-foot setback along an internal local street to 25 feet to accommodate a Chick-fil-A drive-through canopy; applicant representatives said the canopy is not a typical building and the corner/pad configuration limits developable area. The board emphasized that only the canopy encroaches; main building footprints meet setbacks.

A proposed Chick-fil-A on a corner pad in the Highway 92 overlay received board approval to reduce a recorded 50-foot setback adjacent to Cabela27s Way to 25 feet for a drive-through canopy. Staff showed the recorded plat (01/07/2015) and explained the plat27s setbacks apply as minimum requirements; the applicant said the canopy encroaches but the enclosed building and other improvements meet required setbacks.

The applicant27s representative described corner-lot constraints and the canopy27s functional role, saying the encroachment is limited to the canopy structure and paving and does not change primary-building siting. The board approved the variance 5-0, noting previous variances and streetscape overlay conditions already altered the pad27s design; typical permit reviews will apply to final elevations and paving.
