Title
Public Hearing: Application #PL2025-307 - Preliminary Development Plan - Bank of America, 1801 NW Chipman Road; Cushman & Wakefield, applicant.
Body
Issue/Request:
The applicant proposes to remove the existing 4,200 sq. ft. Bank of America facility and redevelop the subject 1.4-acre site with a larger 4,720 sq. ft. bank with two (2) drive-through lanes. The proposed building will have a contemporary design with brick, stucco and aluminum composite metal (ACM) panel system as the primary exterior materials.
The new building will have a more compact site layout compared to the existing bank facility for the purpose of creating approximately 0.48 acres of open space east of the new building for potential future development. There is no imminent plan for development of the eastern portion of the site. As such, the area is currently shown as open space that will be taken back to grass. Future development of the eastern portion of the site will require approval under a future application.
One (1) request for modification is associated with this application. A modification is requested to the minimum 20’ parking lot setback from adjacent residential property, to allow a 6’ parking lot setback along the west property boundary that is shared with abutting John Knox Village residential development. The existing Bank of America currently maintains a 1’ parking lot setback along the west property line; the proposed redevelopment will pull back the western parking lot boundary and gain an additional 5’ of separation from the west property line.
