The Fayetteville Planning and

Zoning Commission will consider plans for a second Chick-fil-A restaurant

in the city at this month's work session and regular meeting.

Development plans for a restaurant

on the southernmost parcel of the Fayetteville Town Center, at the corner

of Ramah Road and Ga. Highway 85 South, are on the agenda for this month.

The approved development agreement allows for a drive-through window and

reduced parking.

City staff is working with

the developers to move from a stock franchise design to something more

compatible with the existing center, and to keep from using the entire

building as signage. The city will handle signage with regard to this

development with a separate permit.

Other agenda items for the

Planning and Zoning Commission this month include:

Development plans for ADC

Recycling on First Manassas Mile Road.

City engineer Don Easterbrook

reports that concerns about the intersection of First Manassas Mile Road

and Bradford Square, in front of Spring Hill Elementary School, have been

discussed with county officials. There are two specific problems the pavement

structure does not hold up well with the use of heavy trucks, and the

turn at the intersection is sharp and difficult for a long truck to maneuver.

Both the city and the county

feel that Manassas Mile needs to be rebuilt and widened and that the intersection

needs to be widened on the south and east sides. Easterbrook recommends

adding this project to the city's Capital Improvement Program as an impact

fee project, and county public works director Lee Hearn is looking at

funding options for the county portion. The project would take a couple

of years to implement, Easterbrook said.

A request from Dorothy T.

Allen at 605 Jefferson Ave. for an exception to the rules for home fences.

A resident of the cul-de-sac

that terminates Jefferson Avenue, Allen built a six-foot privacy fence

between her property and that of a neighbor from whom she reported receiving

harassing threats

and behavior, according to city records. City staff informed her shortly

after construction that the fence was in violation of ordinances.

Due to site conditions and

extenuating circumstances, city staff recommends approval of the variance.

Revised elevations for Ross

Dress for Less at Fayette Pavilion.

The store has undertaken renovations

in preparation to occupy the former Old Navy location. The retailer has

proposed extending the lower edge of the exterior canopy and changing

the roof line of the canopy from a standing seam hipped roof to a stucco-covered

parapet wall. Also, a small prefabricated canopy is proposed over the

rear entrance to the building.

These steps are intended to

provide a larger sign area than allowed by ordinance, city staff believes,

and denial of the changes has been recommended.

Development plans for LaFayette

Center at Brandywine Boulevard and Belle Drive.

Jerry Ballard Homes has proposed

a new 2,955-sq. ft. office building at the northeast corner of this intersection

next to the Belle Chase Apartments in a C-3 zoning district. City staff

recommends approval with the condition that Ballard provide a five-foot

concrete sidewalk extending along the rights of way for both roads, and

several other items be addressed to the satisfaction of the city's Water

and Sewer Department.

Development plans for Bank

of America at the southwest corner of Ga. Highway 314 and New Hope Road.

City staff is working with

the developer on a number of landscaping, lighting and architectural issues.

Staff has recommended that the applicant develop a tree protection plan

for several trees, give more information with regard to utilities, provide

a lighting plan per city requirements and redraw the architecture to meet

the city's standards.

Development plans for Hoskins

Car Wash on North Glynn Street.

These plans are consistent

with the conditions of the special exception approval by the City Council,

according to staff. Previous plans for a self-service area at the rear

of the site have been rectified, and there is to be no site lighting for

the project. Staff has recommended approval.

Rezoning for Cobblestone Apartments

off Ga. Highway 54 east.

A proposed zoning change from

Highway Commercial to Multi-family would allow the construction of five

new apartment buildings for a total of 40 residential units in phase three

of the Cobblestone complex. In April the commission approved eight new

buildings for 64 units in phase two. City staff has recommended denial

due to incompatibility with the future land use plan, which designates

the property for office use. Also, there's no identifiable need for additional

multi-family housing within the city, staff says.
