The roadblock

to plans for a new McDonald's restaurant off Ga. Highway 85 south in Fayetteville

may be cleared.

The city's

Planning and Zoning Commission had previously indicated it wouldn't approve

plans for the 1.29-acre tract near the GTO's Drive-In restaurant. The

commission wanted an agreement between McDonald's and Concordia Properties

that the restaurant could share an access road with the new retail center

planned as part of the Southside development process.

An agreement

has apparently been hammered out to allow for the access road to be shared,

according to city staff. Officials are recommending approval of the plans

for the McDonald's with a condition that the road agreement be concluded

before a certificate of occupancy is issued.

The issue will

likely be considered by the commission at its regular meeting Tuesday,

July 22.

McDonald's

officials have said the building would be almost exactly like the new

one that was built on north Glynn Street earlier this year after the older

structure was razed.
