♦ K DEVELOPMENT SERVICES MEMORANDUM No. 12-16 March 14, 2012 TO: Honorable Mayor Michael T. McElroy and City Council FROM: Ryan P. McCrady, City Manager Billy Tyus, Assistant City Manager Suzan M. Stickle, Senior Planner Joselyn A. Stewart, Transportation Planner SUBJECT: Rescind Conditional Use Permit and repeal Ordinance No. 2008-53 and Grant Conditional Use Permit for a drive-thru coffee facility in the B-1 District at 2505 North Main Street SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval to rescind a Conditional Use Permit and to grant a Conditional Use Permit to allow for a drive-thru coffee facility in the B-1 District. The City Plan Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval of these petitions at the March 1, 2012 meeting; the minutes of the meeting are attached. BACKGROUND: The Decatur City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit(CUP)to allow for a drive-thru coffee facility in the B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District at 2505 North Main Street on July 21, 2008. It was brought to the City's attention that the property owners now want to sell off part of their property to allow for a new development to the west of their existing coffee shop. After discussions with the corporation counsel it was concluded that the old CUP would need to be rescinded and a new CUP would need to be applied for because the original CUP includes the property proposed for new development and the CUP only allows for the Coffee Connection. The first petition requests termination of the conditional use permit. Staff respectfully requests to rescind Ordinance No. 2008-53. The second petition requests a conditional use permit to allow the use of a drive-thru coffee facility. A drive-thru facility located in the B-1 District requires a Conditional Use Permit. The site currently holds a CUP that also includes property west to Church Street. The requested CUP will only include the Coffee Connection facility property which is .69 acres. POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There were no known objectors at the Plan Commission Meeting. INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: The Conditional Use Permit has been reviewed by the City's Technical Review Committee; Planning, Engineering and Fire have approved the proposed plan. STAFF REFERENCE: Any additional questions may be forwarded to Joselyn A. Stewart at 424- 2782 or at istewartgdecaturil.-og_v. BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: None.
