Planning Commission Meeting Minutes November 11, 2021 Page 11 of 12 Commissioners Moline, Hoefner, Howe, and Chair Brauneis voted yay and Commissioners Williams and Diehl voted nay. Brauneis stated that the motion carried. McDonalds PUD Amendment: A request for approval of a Planned Unit Development Amendment to allow minor site modifications and signage changes. (Resolution No. 15, Series 2021). • Applicant: Tiffany Roth, Rogue Architects • Case Planner: Ellie Hassan, Planner II All required notice was met and there were no disclosures. Hassan shared the proposal for the 4th PUD Amendment for the McDonald's to allow the interior and exterior renovation of the existing building and site. She described the site development history and the changes that would occur with the proposal, including changes to pedestrian, ADA, and vehicular movement and parking, along with changes to signage and the fagade. The application included six waivers, including waivers to parking spaces, landscaping, and signage. Williams asked about the additional sign. Hassan stated that that sign was not on the site currently and the "M" was a new sign. Hoefner asked about the changes to the fagade. Hassan described the materials and paint changes to the fagade. Diehl asked about the additional screening on Dillon Road. Hassan described the proposed shrubs and trees and stated that staff believed it was helpful to the site as this area was the only site location with enough room to add landscaping. In addition, it would help screen the drive-thru from Dillon a bit more effectively. Robert Palmer, in Franktown, stated that the site was a bit unique as there was an overlay in addition to the municipal code. He shared that during peak hours traffic backed up through the parking lot, so even though they were losing parking spaces the new configuration would allow parking and circulation to work better than it was now. He stated that there were also changes regarding updating and modernizing McDonald's buildings to avoid having old buildings out there and they wanted to increase ADA and pedestrian access. He added that the menu boards were changing to accommodate the ability to show the order on the menu board and the resizing was not about increasing the advertising space. Brauneis asked for closing statements and public comments. Seeing none, he closed the public hearing and requested commissioner discussion.
