TRANSPORTATION: Denton Tap Road is a P6D, six-lane divided thoroughfare
contained within a 100 - 120 -foot right -of -way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- Town Center Shopping Center (Tom Thumb); TC (Town Center)
South - Braewood Center; C (Commercial)
East - Braewood West Addition; SF -7 (Single Family -7)
West - Mobil Gas Station and McDonalds; R (Retail)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
neighborhood retail uses.
DISCUSSION: The applicant, CiCi's Pizza, desires to relocate their restaurant
from its current location at 700 E. Sandy Lake to the Town Oaks
Shopping Centre at the southeast corner of Sandy Lake and Denton
Tap Road. This relocation will allow for an upgrade from the
existing 3,800 square -foot restaurant, which opened in 1994.
The proposed 4,231 square -foot restaurant is slightly larger than
the existing; however, it will have the same seating capacity of
180. To accommodate this size restaurant, a 576 square -foot
expansion to this shopping center is required. With this expansion,
and the conversion of retail to a restaurant use, staff requested that
the applicant provide an accounting of the parking capacity of this
shopping center to assure that it could provide the required 42
parking spaces. The attached analysis indicates that at full
occupancy, with this expansion, there will still be an excess of 8
parking spaces.
This lease space will have approximately 60 feet of frontage on
Denton Tap Road, and, therefore, a 60 square -foot sign would be
permitted. However, the applicant is requesting a sign that will be
approximately 47- square feet. The color of the individually
mounted letters will match the shade of white as the existing
signage in this shopping center.
