Tallgrass Holdings II LLC is seeking variances from required front and side building lines for the project. The proposed development would occupy approximately 17,000 square feet of a larger property and would be located on the existing Taco Bell site.The proposal has been under review for several months, with traffic impacts among the issues commissioners wanted examined further. The matter was tabled again in July while additional information was being prepared.An updated staff report included in Tuesday’s agenda packet says city staff has now reviewed traffic information submitted by the applicant and conducted additional analysis. Staff concluded the proposed coffee shop would not negatively affect the level of service at the nearby intersection. The report notes that 7 Brew’s busiest period is expected to occur at a different time than the area’s existing peak traffic periods.A traffic analysis included in the packet also examined vehicle stacking at the drive-thru. The proposed site provides space for 16 vehicles between two lanes, while data collected at existing 7 Brew locations found an average maximum queue of about 7.4 vehicles per lane.Staff is recommending approval of the requested variances, citing the location of an existing water line that limits where an additional building can be placed on the property. Staff also reported receiving no inquiries from neighboring property owners regarding the project.The board will be able to grant or deny the variance request during Tuesday’s meeting.</div></body>
