In full

The application required four distinct 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 (7-0), while deferring action on the other three items. On December 10, 2024, the City Council approved all four items in separate 4-2 votes, with Council Members Lim and Stehle opposed on each.

The GDP amendment was codified as Ordinance No. 2024-14 and the Special Exception as Resolution R-24-39, completing all necessary approvals for the project.
