Commission approves MoBetta restaurant renovation and thin-brick waiver
Summary
Avon commissioners approved a renovation and small expansion of a former Swenson's building for MoBetta, granting a waiver to allow existing thin brick siding to remain so the building can be put back into service with added landscaping around the trash enclosure.
The Plan Commission approved DPR 25-21 for MoBetta, allowing renovation of an existing 1,580-square-foot restaurant, a 760-square-foot addition and an online-order pickup drive-through window, and granted a waiver permitting thin brick siding (less than four inches thick) to be used.
Staff explained the building is a legal nonconforming structure with thin brick installed under prior rules; replacing the material to meet the current UDO would be impractical and would harm the building’s cohesive appearance. Staff therefore recommended granting a waiver and approval of the development plan subject to a revised landscape plan that includes screening plantings around the trash enclosure.
The petitioner confirmed the building was built in 2022 and that the renovation will return a vacant site to active use. Commissioners supported reusing the facility and asked that the petitioner provide the revised landscape plan as a condition of final approval. The waiver and development plan were approved in recorded votes.
