Description/History
First Reading
The proposed PD is for a retail center including a high-end grocery store anchor, restaurants and a convenience store/gas station.
Retail Building A will be occupied by Market Street. Retail Buildings B, C and D will be restaurant/retail uses. Along E. Broad Street, Raising Cane’s is slated for Lot 4, Zoey’s Kitchen and Wells Fargo will share Lot 5, and Lot 6 will be a C-store/gas station associated with Market Street. No specific users have been named for Lots 2 and 3. Staff recommends that future site plan approval by City Council should be required for Lots 2 and 3.
Deviations from the C-2 regulations have been requested for: the fast food restaurants landscape buffer and parking, masonry screening wall along the north side, building articulations and construction design for the grocery store and nearby retail buildings (see attached variance requests). Additionally, the applicant is seeking a variance to the alcoholic beverage sale regulations to allow on- and off-premise sale of alcoholic beverages within 300 feet of the high school.

- show more details on the open space areas between buildings
