Commission recommends Sandalfoot MUPD amendment to add restaurant and retail outparcel

The Zoning Commission recommended approval of a development-order amendment to the Sandalfoot Multiple Use Planned Development to add a 5,731-square-foot restaurant and retail outparcel on a 32.18-acre shopping-center site.

Alex, representing the applicant from J Morton Planning and Landscape Architecture, told commissioners the addition would occupy an underused portion of the existing parking area and increase total building area while keeping required buffer, parking and access standards. The applicant said the project will provide 914 parking spaces overall, exceeding the required 36 spaces for the new outparcel.

Commissioners asked about public correspondence and outreach; the applicant said they had contacted neighborhood associations and condo residents adjacent to the site and that no public comment cards were submitted for the record. Staff recommended approval with conditions, including driveway improvements noted in the staff report.

After a brief question-and-answer period about outreach and driveway modifications, the commission voted to recommend approval with the staff conditions outlined in the staff report.
