Summary

The Boulevard Marketplace Shopping Center GDP Amendment concerns a request by ABTB Mid-Atlantic, LLC to develop a 2,090-square-foot Taco Bell restaurant with a drive-through and walk-up window at 10120 Fairfax Boulevard (Tax Map Parcels 47-4-23-000-A and 47-4-23-000-D). The application bundled four related approvals: a General Development Plan (GDP) amendment, a Special Use Permit for the drive-through restaurant, a Special Exception for interior parking landscaping, and a Major Certificate of Appropriateness for architecture and landscaping. On September 9, 2024, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended City Council approve the GDP amendment (GDP dated August 19, 2024) by a 7-0 vote, while taking no action on the remaining three items at that meeting. On December 10, 2024, the City Council approved all four items by a 4-2 vote (Lim and Stehle opposed), adopting Ordinance No. 2024-14 for the GDP amendment and Resolution R-24-39 for the special exception. The project is now fully approved and the matter is resolved.
