Body
Background:
On June 14, 1999, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the replat for Keller Town Center. On June 18, 2013, City Council approved the Site Plan for Chick-Fil-A by Resolution No. 3387. On April 15, 2014, Chick-Fil-A received their final inspection and Certificate of Occupancy. The applicant is proposing to add an additional 1,411 square-feet of canopy improvements that will extend over the drive-thru lanes (See Exhibit A.) Because Chick-Fil-A is located in the Town Center Zoning District, the proposed canopy addition requires a Site Plan Amendment.
Analysis:
The canopy will be structural steel with deck roofing attached and secured to the building. Additionally, the Applicant is proposing to wrap the steel posts with brick. The applicant provided elevations as a visual reference (See Exhibit A.) Chick-Fil-A is proposing the canopy to provide shade for its customers and protection from the weather for employees receiving orders and delivering food to its customers.
