Excerpts from Plan Commission Minutes of May 2, 2013: Cal. No. 13-15 Petition of BINK, INC. and THE WOODMOUND, INC., to amend the B-3 Planned Shopping Center District located at 3775 NORTH WOODFORD STREET. Mrs. Stewart presented the recommendation of staff: The subject property contains the Woodmound Plaza Shopping Center and approximately 4.2 acres. The original B-3 Planned Shopping Center District was approved by the Ci[y Council in June 1978 and has had amendments since that time. The petitioner proposes to amend the approved B-3 Planned Shopping Center District in order to construct an enclosed outdoor patio (34' x 15.0'); a 16' x 10' building expansion for a vestibule; a 13' x 6' building expansion where the drive thru will be relocated; and a storage building (20' x 18'). The drive thru window will have a total of five (5) stacking spaces. Ten (10) stacking spaces are required for a restaurant. The drive thru is for pick up only and therefore, nc menu/order board will be allowed to be utilized with the drive thru. The B-3 Planned Shopping Center District amendment is consistent with the intent of the originally approved B-3 Planned Shopping Center District. The additions to the building, the addition of the patio and storage build ng as well as the relocation of the drive thru do not change or alter the essential character of the approved B-3. The B-3 Planned Shopping Center District amendment has been reviewed and approved by the City's Technical Review Committee, Planning, Engineering and Fire.
