Discussion:
Previous zoning records and Board of Commissioners meeting minutes do not indicate the reason for a prohibition on fast food restaurants and drive-thru operations on the property in 1999.
In ECCA’s estimation, given the current conditions and state of development at the intersection of Shallowford Rd and Sandy Plains Rd, a fast-food restaurant with drive-thru should be considered subject to:
- ACC review and approval.
- Cobb DOT traffic impact analysis with respect to queue formation and ingress/egress to both shopping centers.
ECCA Recommendation: ECCA will not be making a recommendation outside the considerations listed above: (1) ACC review and approval (2) Cobb DOT traffic impact analysis.
BOC Decision: Approve 4-0 subject to: subject to: 1)All previous conditions that are not in conflict, 2)District Commissioner approval of final landscape plans and elevations, 3) Stormwater recommendations, 4) Fire Department recommendations, and 5) Cobb DOT recommendations.
