BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
The Martin Downs PUD Agreement, approved on August 8th, 1980, authorized the developer to construct 285,000 square feet of gross leasable floor area for retail and service commercial uses and 248,000 square feet of gross leasable floor area for business and professional office uses.
The 25th Amendment of the Martin Downs PUD, approved January 8th, 1985, approved the final development plan for parcel 38/40, Martin Downs Village Center. That plan allowed 95,401 square feet of retail and 21,871 square feet of office (total of 117,272 square feet) and provided 683 parking spaces, including 14 ADA spaces and 36 stabilized grass spaces.
The 77th Amendment of the Martin Downs PUD, approved January 6th, 2009 approved the maximum nonresidential square footage for parcels 38/40 “Village Center” at 102,045 commercial and 21,871 office and included minimum setbacks for all new buildings at 100 feet from Martin Downs Boulevard and 75 feet from High Meadows Avenue.
This application to construct two standalone restaurants with drive-throughs meets all the proposed requirements, which have been documented on the revised final site plan. The applicant received an approval letter from the Martin Downs Property Owners Association for this proposal.
