Taco Bell
The Taco Bell project concerns a proposed new Taco Bell restaurant with a drive-through at 10120 Fairfax Boulevard, specifically on Parcel D — a 0.66-acre vacant pad site within an existing shopping center (larger Parcel A is 2.4 acres) that was previously approved under a 2017 general development plan and 2008 proffers. 6 separate matters touch this project; each has its own status.

In full
The shopping center contains approximately 119 shared parking spaces with no dedicated parking for any individual tenant. A public hearing was first scheduled for the October 22, 2024 City Council meeting, then rescheduled to December 10, 2024. At the December 10 hearing, discussion centered on traffic stacking in the drive-through, parking congestion in the already restaurant-heavy shopping center, reduced drive-through hours and a reduced footprint compared to Taco Bell's standard prototype, and a proposed condition requiring annual monitoring of drive-through stacking compliance — with the possibility of special use permit revocation for non-compliance.
The project remains in progress, with references as late as March 2026 indicating it had not yet opened.
