COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The area of MacArthur Blvd. and Beltline Road has been
designated as a special land use category for mixed uses
since it is considered a gateway to the City.
DISCUSSION:
Reduction of the site area to less than a half acre limits its usability as a
commercial outparcel, as evidenced by the number of times this case has
been reviewed. A drive-tluu restaurant is one of the worst choices for
such a tight site because the drive-thru lane impedes pedestrian access to
the table service area and because half the required parking must be
separated from table service by the 30-foot-wide shopping center driveway
adjoining on the east. Several other uses are permissible, however,
without a special use permit and with one-half to one-third the parking
requirement of a restaurant. A real estate office, an insurance agency, a
florist and an auto parts store are all viable alternatives, to mention just
afew.
P. ECO~ATION:
Staff recommends, as the preferred course of action, denial of the
special use permit in favor of an alternative use. However, staff
will support the special use permit if the following conditions can
be met:
1. replat the adjoining site to the east to relocate the 30'-wide
fire lane eastward.
2. replace two of the entrances from Belt Line Road with one.
3. place all of the required parking west of the fire lane.
4. eliminate the monument sign.
5. final type and location of the directional signs will need to
be approved by the Engineering Department.
1) Recommend approval of the zoning change
2) Recommend denial of the zoning change
3) Modify the zoning change
