Planning and Zoning to consider Panda Express location

​     The Planning & Zoning Commission will meet via videoconference on January 13th to discuss several action items, including a proposed site plan for a Panda Express drive-thru restaurant. The proposed restaurant will be located on the northeast corner of the Interstate 70 westbound exit ramp and Buckner Tarsney Road.
     The commission will also take action on a conditional use permit for Kustom Cruzers and an amendment to an approved conditional use permit for Eagle Convenient Storage, following a public hearing for both issues.
     Kustom Cruzers is requesting a conditional use permit for a vehicle salvage/tow yard on approximately 1.4 acres just west of 350 NW Jefferson Court. Eagle Convenient Storage is requesting an amendment to an approved conditional use permit to change the exterior building materials, roof pitch and roof color on storage unit buildings in phase 2 of the project. The developer has requested the amendment as a cost-saving measure for its facility located at 114 SW Eagles Parkway.
     The commission will also elect a chair, vice chair, and secretary for 2021.
     In other development news, the commission approved a site plan during its November 18th meeting for Heartland Dental to locate in Lot 1 of Mercado Plaza, located at the southwest corner of Woodbury Drive and Buckner Tarsney Road.
