The petitioner, Andrew Balzer, Brixmor, and representatives of the petitioner’s team provided details on the request. Chairman Losurdo asked if the parking study accounted for the potential loss of the 22 parking spaces if the bypass lane were provided around the restaurant. Mr. Balzer stated that the loss of 22 parking spaces may seem insignificant overall, but noted that these parking spaces are needed in this area to accommodate two drive-thru restaurants. Public testimony: None Chairman Losurdo and Commissioner McDaniel expressed concern for the lack of bypass lane. Commissioner Athanikar inquired about the proposed parking condition and what would trigger the petitioner to comply with those conditions. Ms. Kopinski stated that it would be triggered by continuous complaints to the City from surrounding property owners about overflow parking. Commissioner Wright discussed elimination of the 10 parking spaces to the north of Building L to provide a partial bypass lane and asked if staff would support that modification. Ms. Kopinski stated staff finds that modification would reduce the concern. The PZC closed the public hearing. A motion was made by Commissioner Athanikar, seconded by Commissioner Robbins to adopt the findings of fact as presented by the petitioner and approve PZC 22-1-038, a conditional use for a PUD in the B2 zoning district, a deviation to reduce the required parking subject to the conditions noted in the staff report, a deviation to increase the height of light poles, and multiple sign deviations as outlined in the staff report; and, for the reasons noted in the staff report, deny the requested deviation to eliminate the bypass lane for building L for the property located for 404 S Route 59 and 2707 Aurora Avenue (Block 59) as presented to approve the partial bypass lane.
