Zoning File 25-10: Special permit for drive-through restaurant at W. Spring Valley Rd and S. Sherman St
View this case on Richardson Zoning Watch (map, hearing notices, CPC status) →
What this is
A developer is requesting two approvals for a 0.7-acre property at the northwest corner of W. Spring Valley Road and S. Sherman Street: a Special Development Plan to modify the Main Street/Central Expressway Form-Based Code standards, and a Special Permit to allow a drive-through restaurant. The site is currently zoned Planned Development Main Street/Central Expressway (Railside Sub-District).
Why it matters
This decision will determine whether a drive-through restaurant can be built at this corner in the Railside Sub-District, which could affect traffic, pedestrian activity, and the character of that area.
Council action
Motion to approve the request as presented and recommended by the City Plan Commission with no window, but a drive-up pick-up window is allowed
