Super, thank you. All right, well then let's get into the public hearing. I call to order this December fifth public hearing of the Leesburg Planning Commission on TLSPEX twenty twenty four zero zero zero five, Dunkin' Donuts Drive-Thru. Debbie Perry, welcome. Uh planner, Department of Community Development will be talking on this. All members of the public are welcome to address the commission on this application. Persons wishing to address a commission should sign up at the podium. Once recognized by the chair, individuals should advance to the podium and state his or her name and address. Persons should also indicate whether they are representing anyone other than themselves. After the presentation or comments, please be seated unless the chair or member of the commission has questions of the petitioner or speaker.
Statements which are demeaning or defamatory to members of the public staff or the commission are inappropriate and out of order. In the interest of fairness, we also ask you observe the three minute time limit. You'll hear a bell at the end of three minutes at that time. We would appreciate your summing up and yielding the floor when the bell indicates your time has expired. This rule applies to all citizens. However, if you're representing a group such as an HOA, please indicate the group you're representing when you uh sign up and you'll be allowed to speak up to five minutes. The procedure for the public hearing is as follows. First, the staff will present their report. Second, members of the public will have their opportunity to speak.
Somewhere in here there is an opportunity for the applicant to also speak. Third, the Planning Commission will have questions. Fourth, will close the public hearing or leave it open to the next meeting. The Planning Commission will have its discussion and vote on the application or delay vote until the next meeting. With that Debbie, please begin.
Thank you. I apologize for being eager. I just ran right up here. Um, I'm Debbie Perry. I am a planner with the Department of Community Development, and I am here before you all this evening to discuss the Dunkin' Donut special exception application. Um, I was joking with James that all curved walls are being thrown at me for my first presentation for the planning commission with No visuals, so
How does the public hearing for the Dunkin' Donuts drive‑through application proceed?
We'll walk you through. So this request is to permit a change in use for a 3,000 twenty-eight square foot vacant bank structure with drive-through facility. Yeah, to a fast food establishment with drive through facility. In your application materials in the staff report, there is a map indicating the location of the subject property. It's located within the larger Potomac Station Marketplace Shopping Center, which is approximately seventeen acres in size. This is a single structure within the special exception bay. See, I I could show you all my maps about surrounding uses, but we'll just skip all that. Uh the current zoning is uh planned residential community. Other zoning designations on this property are that it's located within the Eastern Gateway District.
It's also located within the Gateway Overlay District, however, by Profer it's uh Placed under the H two historic corridor overlay for architectural review by the VAR.
