TO: Mayor Thomas J. Weisner
FROM: Planning Commission
DATE: February 9, 2015
SUBJECT:
A Resolution Approving a Revision to the Final Plan on Lot 12 of McCarty Center Subdivision for a Dunkin Donuts with a drive-thru located at 3999 75th Street, Aurora, IL, 60504 (Raj Patel- L15-00002 / NA28/3-14.283-Fpn/R - ES - Ward 8)
PURPOSE:
Raj Patel has purchased the subject property plans to operate a Dunkin Donuts out of half of the building. The other half will be used as an Office. Approval of the Final Plan Revision will allow for minor revisions to the building and site including converting the former bank drive-thru to a restaurant drive thru.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is located at the southwest corner of 75th Street and Commons Drive and is part of the master planned McCarty Center Subdivision. The majority of the development consists of office condos while this lot was constructed as a drive-thru bank in 2007. The property is zoned B-2(S), and is surrounded by the office condos to the west, townhomes to the south, vacant B-2(S) property to the north, and vacant unincorporated property to the east.
DISCUSSION:
The petitioner is proposing to modify an existing bank building into a Dunkin Donuts restaurant for half of the building, and the other half will be an office use. The existing bank drive-thru will be slightly modified to accommodate the new use. This 4,875 square foot bank building was has been vacant for a few years. All parking and landscaping is in place, and five additional parking spaces will be added where the former bank drive-thru lanes were. A small amount of new curbing will be added with foundation plantings for the modified drive-thru. This plan will allow for a re-use of a vacant building and help with the economic vitality of the area and provide a service of a new restaurant. Parking is sufficient for the new use, and all utilities and good access is in place.
