7.II.
Consideration and Action to Provide a Special Exception at 917 Virginia Avenue

Background:

Rajesh Patel, applicant and developer, has submitted a revised plan for the 22,000 sf mixed- use commercial/retail building at 917 Virginia Avenue, Parcel Identification Number 14 012700040377. The building will be two stories with 13,000 sf of retail on the first floor and 9,000 sf of office space on the second floor. The site plan calls for a side drive-through window to accommodate a national food chain as part of the overall project. The property is accessed from Virginia Ave, Rainey Avenue, and Elkins Street with curb cuts only on Rainey Avenue and Elkins Avenue.

Though staff worked with Mr. Patel and his design team to re-orient the drive-through window to the rear and allow for stacking within the site and not onto Rainey, the national tenant has indicated that the queuing is not sufficient and has requested an alternate drive-through location (side).

The Planning Commission considered this request on December 11, 2018 and recommended the Mayor and Council grant the special use permit. Staff supported their recommendation.
