Adjustment to approve the remodeling and/or enlargement of a nonconforming

structure to remain as developed in addition to site improvements as shown on the plot
plan.
Mr. Triplett explained that staff found a special condition existed for the requested
special exception. Specifically, the site was developed in 1979 and had been in
existence since that time. Currently the site was noncompliant with the current zoning
ordinance relative to minimum open space, maximum impervious surface density
requirements and interior, perimeter and non -vehicular open space landscaping
requirements. Based upon proposed improvements, minimum open space and
maximum impervious surface requirements would become compliant.
Mr. Triplett stated that the property was currently zoned "HC" Highway Commercial
District and developed as a 2,455 square foot restaurant previously occupied by Taco
Bueno. The proposed use HTeaO restaurant, had necessitated applications requested
for a conditional use and special exception. The site did not comply with the Highway
Commercial District density requirements including minimum open space and maximum
impervious surface. Landscaping requirements including interior, perimeter and non -
vehicular open space were noncompliant. Compliance to the zoning ordinance
increased on the subject site due to reduced paving and increased open space.
On February 23, 2021 Council approved on first reading of an ordinance, the conditional
use application allowed for a drive -through restaurant, with outside dining and a 20-foot
pole sign. The second reading of the ordnance was scheduled to be considered by
Council on the March 16, 2021.
