Case No. P16013 — 2005 Schotthill Woods Drive — Preliminary PUD Plan Amendment.
Request filed by CAC Real Estate, property owner, Chris McCrea, applicant, for a Preliminary
PUD Plan Amendment to demolish the existing restaurant on the property and construct a new
2,200 sf restaurant with drive through lane. The property is located on the northeast corner of
Eastland Drive and Schotthill Woods Drive and is described as part of Lot 60 of Schotthill Woods
Section 2, Jefferson City, Missouri (Weihe Engineers, Consultant).
Mr. Barron described the proposal and explained that the property owner intends to redevelop the
site by demolishing the existing restaurant and rebuilding a new Taco Bell restaurant with drive
through lane. The property is zoned PUD Planned Unit Development, and the property owner has
submitted a Preliminary PUD Plan Amendment request detailing the redevelopment plan. He stated
that the property was originally developed according to a PUD Plan approved in 1991. This PUD
Plan outlined the development of a restaurant with drive through lane.
Mr. Barron indicated that the order box is proposed to be located in the northeast corner of the
site directed away from the adjacent residential neighborhood and that the existing 20' tall light
poles with double lighting fixtures are planned to be replaced with 25' tall poles with single lighting
fixtures. He stated that there are several staff recommended conditions, including the
establishment of an underlying zoning designation of C-1 Neighborhood Commercial for the
purpose of determining future permitted uses with the addition of restaurant with drive through lane
as a permitted use, that the site adhere to the signage allowances of the C-1 district with the
exception that one pylon sign, up to 25 feet in height, be permitted in the northwest corner of the
site, and that the drive through lane be shifted to adhere to the required 20 feet setback from the
neighboring property.
Mr. Bill Terry, Weihe Engineers, 10505 North College Avenue, Indianapolis, IN spoke regarding
this request. Mr. Terry explained that the hours of operation will be 7:00 AM to 2:00 AM Sunday to
Thursday and 7:00 AM to 3:00 AM Friday and Saturday. He stated that they have met the minimum
requirements for lighting and do not want to go any lower for security reasons.
The following individuals spoke in opposition to this request:
Joe Halbrook, 2007 Fox Trail
Gary Heislen, 920 Eastland Drive
Stephen D'Alessandro, 2011 Fox Trail
Thomas Fennessey, 2005 Fox Trail
Those speaking in opposition voiced the following concerns:
Opposed to the proposed development because of the extreme deviation from the current land
use at this property;
Excessive late night hours of operation which greatly exceeds the norm of any business located
in that general area, aside from McDonald's which is located approximately one city block from
where we live;
Minutes/Jefferson City Planning &Zoning Commission Page 3
October 13, 2016
Main concern is late night noise from vehicles queued at the drive through window;
Increase in traffic;
Lack of a sound barrier such as a sound fence or row of evergreen trees;
Element that this type of late night drive through establishment might attract to our neighborhood;
Pizza Hut is a good neighbor. There is limited lighting and they do not have a continuously used
drive through lane that has queued cars with loud speakers and noisy exhaust;
Hours of existing business are compatible with the neighborhood. They close at 11:00 p.m. on
weeknights and 12:00 a.m. on weekends;
Businesses are not similar in nature.
Correspondence in opposition to this request was received from the following individuals:
Joe&Mary Halbrook, 2007 Fox Trail
Stephen D'Alessandro, 2011 Fox Trail
Thomas Fennessey, 2008 Fox Trail
Mr. Barron explained that the specific business is not an item for consideration by the Planning
and Zoning Commission. He stated that there are no restrictions on hours of operation on the
existing restaurant.
Mr.Wade gave the Engineering Division staff report.
Mr. Terry stated that he concurs with staff comments and recommendations.
Mr. Nunn moved and Mr. Vaughan seconded to recommend approval of the Preliminary PUD
Plan to the City Council, subject to the following conditions:
1. An underlying zoning district of C-1 be established for the purpose of determining permitted
uses with the addition of restaurant with drive through lane as a permitted use.
2. Signage shall adhere to the allowances of the C-1 zoning district with the exception that one
pylon sign with a maximum height of 25 feet shall be permitted in the northwest corner of the
site.
3. Adherence to the standard 20 feet setback for drive through lanes.
4. Compliance with comments and technical corrections of the Planning and Engineering
divisions.
The motion passed 7-1 with the following votes:
Aye: Cotten, Dutoi, Fitzwater, Lester, Nunn, Vaughan, Yarnell,
Nay: George
Ms. Cotten left at 6:33 p.m. Alternate Mr. Markus will vote in her place.
Case No. P16014— 815 West Stadium Boulevard, Rezoning from C-1 to C-2. Request filed
by Providence Bank, property owner, for a rezoning of 2.85 acres from C-1 Neighborhood
Commercial to C-2 General Commercial. The property is located on the east side of West
Stadium Boulevard 250 feet south of Hyde Park Road and is described as part of lot 67 of Jordon
Towne Subdivision, Jefferson City, Missouri.
Mr. Barron described the proposal and explained that the property owner desires to remove their
existing signage and replace with new signage. He stated that the C-1 zoning of the property
permits a maximum sign height of 10 feet. Mr. Barron explained that the existing freestanding sign
on the property is approximately 23 feet tall, and the owner wishes to replace it with a sign of similar
height. He stated that because the sign is nonconforming, a permit cannot be issued for a new sign
greater than 10 feet in height. Mr. Barron explained that the owner has applied to rezone the
property to a C-2 General Commercial district, which would permit a sign height of up to 32 feet.

October 13, 2016
Mr. Tim Harris, Pinnacle Sign Group, 505 N. Glenstone, Springfield, Missouri spoke regarding
this request and explained that this is primarily driven by the Bank's desire to rebrand their image.
He stated that Providence Bank is remodeling and refreshing their signs at this time. Mr. Harris
explained that the existing 23 foot tall sign is a legal nonconforming sign. He stated that the
proposed sign would be 22 feet tall. Mr. Harris explained that to be in conformance with the sign
code we would have to replace the existing 23 foot tall sign with a 10 foot tall sign. He stated that
rezoning to C-2 would bring their property into closer conformance with the existing businesses in
the area.
No one spoke in opposition to this request and no correspondence was received.
Mr. Barron gave the Planning Division staff report.
Mr. Vaughan moved and Mr. George seconded to recommend approval of rezoning the property
