Texas Roadhouse DPR approved with landscaping waivers and conditions
Summary
The commission approved PSDP‑26‑11 for a 7,926 sq ft Texas Roadhouse at the I‑74 area, granting two landscaping waivers tied to power‑line constraints and adjacent tree cover while requiring standard technical fixes, final plat recording requirements and construction plan stamping.
The plan commission voted to approve the development plan review for a new Texas Roadhouse (PSDP‑26‑11) at a C‑2 site near the I‑74 on‑ramp, granting two requested landscaping waivers related to power lines and existing tree growth. Staff reported the waivers substitute the required shade trees with ornamental trees, arborvitae and additional shrubs to respect overhead power lines and constrained planting areas; staff said the applicant provided more shrubs than required in several areas and included perimeter planting to offset tree‑line constraints.
Applicant representative Matt Imberge with Veritas Realty confirmed plans to submit updated elevations (higher parapets to screen rooftop units) and told commissioners that the project includes two full‑access entries and a second access point at a Northfield traffic signal. Commissioners asked about delivery and emergency vehicle turning (staff verified semi‑turn radii and fire department sign‑off), parking and pedestrian access; staff said the project provides 195 standard parking spaces and 6 ADA spaces. The motion to approve, including the two landscaping waivers and staff conditions, passed by voice vote.
