modification to the approved Large Scale Development for LSD 06-1939, Bellafont Phase 2A, to
allow a drive-thru lane for a tenant.
Andrew Garner, Senior Planner, gave the staff report, recommending approval with conditions as
listed in the staff report.
Commissioner Zant asked the applicant about the tenant for the new drive-thru and resulting
vehicle use.

of the design of the drive-thru the applicant evaluated their new bagel shop in Rogers. The drive-thm
has stacking space for four vehicles. The bagel shop will be mainly a lunch and breakfast restaurant
and the Mellow Mushroom pizza in the same development is mainly a dinner restaurant, so the peak
demand for parking are at different time. The parking numbers meet city requirements.
