Case #221739 – Almadale Farms PD, Phase 15 - Chick-fil-A #5174 – Request approval of a Variance to allow a restaurant to exceed one parking space for every two seats provided.
Applicant: GBC Design, Inc (Allan S. Wiley, P.E.)
Property Owner: Hilliard Crews Partnership (Jason Crews)
Project Planner: Donquetta M. Singleton
How does increasing the number parking spots address the overall traffic flow through this restaurant when a vast majority of there business comes from drive-thru service. Patron/traffic flow through the site map appears to only allow right turns entering/exiting from the north side on HL and right/left turns entering/exiting on the south side on HL (next to the Exxon) and within 100 feet of the HL/WR intersection. Increased patron/traffic flow will create a traffic nightmare in this area.
The request for additional parking indicates that this location will drive significant traffic which will be dangerous and is undesirable to the surrounding neighborhoods and schools. This is bad for pedestrian traffic and also the nearby neighborhood entry points, possibly leading to need for more traffic lights. Both large parking lots and additional traffic lights will be detrimental to the residential neighborhoods and appeal to current and possible residents.
