Brett Bill stated the petitioner is requesting permission to change the land use of this property and to construct a new building to serve as a drive-thru coffee shop.

At their February 9, 2023 meeting, the Aberdeen Board of Zoning Adjustment approved a Special Exception for the operation of a drive-up window at this location. This property is currently within the High Density Residential District; therefore, the petitioner has submitted a petition to rezone to the Neighborhood Commercial District contingent on approval of the land use. Following discussion, Rux moved, and Cogley seconded, to approve with the stipulations that the accompanying Petition to Rezone to the Neighborhood Commercial District is approved and that the property is replatted into one lot.
