Planning panel approves conditional-use permit for restaurant on Great Falls Highway

Lancaster County Planning Commission · August 18, 2026

Summary

The Lancaster County Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of a conditional-use permit for a restaurant/bar proposed for 1949–1951 Great Falls Highway, with staff noting standard UDO and building-review conditions. The applicant said he already holds an ABC license on contingency and plans a full remodel.

The Lancaster County Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of CU 2026-1423, a conditional‑use permit for a restaurant and bar at 1949–1951 Great Falls Highway, after staff said the proposal meets the code requirements and utilities are already in place.

Corey, speaking for county staff, told commissioners the TRC had vetted the application and that Lancaster County Water and Sewer raised no objections because utilities already serve the site. Applicant Gary Pacisty said the building will be a complete remodel and that he has an ABC license “on contingency” while he finalizes tenant arrangements. Commissioners asked about hours of operation and noise buffering near adjacent MDR-designated land and a nearby Kingdom Hall; staff noted that hours and other operational limits may be attached as conditions of a conditional‑use permit. After discussion and no public speakers, the commission approved the recommendation and sent the item to county council for final action.
