John:
Current Planning has been reviewing a request to demolish an existing pad site at the Drake Crossing
Shopping Center, and construct a freestanding Walgreens store in its place. The application will be
reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Board on March 21st. It's probably important to note that Walgreens is
presently a tenant within this shopping center and is merely relocating on the site.
The inquiry that you received may have something to do with a drive -through window proposed at the rear
of the building. Inclusion of the drive -through has drawn some criticism from a neighboring property owner
who desires a drive -up window for his restaurant, but is specifically prohibited due to use limitations in the
NC zoning district. Our regulations draw a distinction between drive -through restaurants and other uses
such as banks or other non-food operations that have drive-thoughs.
Please let me know if you need more information or if it's appropriate for us to contact the neighboring
owner who raised the question.
