Item two.

Consideration.

Consideration and action regarding a conditional use permit.

C UP with site plan for a Zach Spees restaurant with drive-through facility on a site generally located on the southeast corner of 163rd Avenue and Pinnacle Peak Road.

Case number FS two five zero seven three three.

Good evening, Chair, Commissioners.

The item before you is the Zaxby's uh conditional use permit for a drive-thru.

Case numbers FS twenty-five zero seven three three.

Zoning for the site is C2 with a beauty overlay.

Zoning to the south and east is also that same zoning district.

Zoning to the north is PAD and zoning on the west side of 163rd is the Asante PAD with C2 underlying zoning.

Nineteen have been provided.

The double drive-through lane has queuing capacity for 17 vehicles.

The accessible route for pedestrians is shown there with the red dotted line.

This gives you an overview of the overall commerce center, the master site plan.

Access to the site is all taken from internal drive aisles.

However, um a three-quarter access drive-through aisle or drive driveway is provided off of Pinnacle Peak Road.

Full access is taken off of Planata Lane, which has three-quarter access on 163rd Avenue.

The landscape uh the applicant is providing is in conformance with the LDO and was designed to uh and be complementary to the right-of-way landscaping that has already been approved.

The architecture is consistent with Zaxby's uh branding, but incorporates the materials and some of the architectural elements that were provided that were approved with the master site plan.

Uh the brick veneer of the neutral color palette and a lot of the steel accents were part of that master site plan uh color palette and materials palette.

This shows the use specific standards that the um CUP was reviewed against.

The site uh is in conformance with all of the use specific standards that are set forth in the LDO for drive-through facilities on February 25th.

A neighborhood meeting was held.

Five attendees were present.

They had questions about the restaurant background, um some of the uses on adjacent parcels or the potential uses on adjacent parcels and access and traffic concerns.

Should the commission wish to approve the conditional permit use permit?

Staff recommends the commission approve subject to stipulations A through E.

Both myself and the applicant are here to respond to your questions, and this conclude concludes my presentation.

Okay, thank you very much, Leslie.

Uh, this does call for an open uh public hearing, and so I'd like to open that public hearing.

Is there anyone that'd like to speak?

No, Chair.

Okay, then we'll close the public hearing and commissioners.

Anybody who'd like to speak.

Commissioner Perry.

Uh thank you, Chair Chairman.

A quick question.

I have not seen a Zaxby's, and I believe that it's a uh it's it's a new restaurant group that's moving here in into uh Arizona.

And I'm wondering, um, is there uh sit-down?

Uh is there is there seating in the restaurant or is it primarily drive-through?

I'll defer to the applicant.

Don't all rush at once.

One of you guys had to have eaten there before.

If you could uh please state your name and who you represent, it should be good.

Hey, I'm Ben Brunig, and I'm the uh on the development team for the Zaxby's restaurant.

Uh yeah, it's both uh uh uh seating inside and drive-thru.

It's a double drive-thru as you saw, but there's also plenty of seating inside as well.

Thank you.

Uh that's my question.

Thank you.

Okay, thank you.

Commissioner, any other questions?

And seeing none, then I would entertain a motion.

Um I'll move to approve the conditional use permit with the site plan for Zaxby's restaurant with the drive-through uh facility.

Case number FS25-0733 subject to stipulations A through E as outlined in their staff report.

Second.

Motion and second, any further discussion?

Sarah, do we have anyone that would like to speak?

No, Chair.

Then we will close the open public hearing and we will go on to any future business items from the commission.
