Design Narrative
Project Title: Dutch Bros
Past Meeting Dates: Conceptual Review 12.14.18
General Information:
This is a request to construct an 823 square foot drive -thru coffee shop on a parcel that
formerly contained a fuel station. The site is located at the southwest corner of Kensington
Drive and College Avenue. The property will be re-platted jointly with the adjacent Jiffy Lube
lot to the south to create two lots. Dutch Bros will be on Lot 1, which contains .428 acres. In
order to construct the coffee shop and associated access and drive-thru lanes, the existing
car wash and landscaping will be demolished. The existing easternmost access will be
closed and both the coffee shop and Jiffy Lube will take access from the north-south private
drive that serves M & O Tires, McDonald’s and the retail building.
Improvements to the lots will include new parking spaces, access drives, new sidewalks,
landscape islands, a shared trash enclosure and the Dutch Bros building. The existing
sidewalk along Kensington will be widened to 7’ where possible due to the existing trees.
The sidewalk along College Avenue will be widened to 10’. The building is located at the
northeast corner of the site and meets the required build-to lines. The new parking spaces
will be shared between the two uses and meet the minimum number of spaces for each type
of use.
The contemporary architecture utilizes brick and Nichiha Fiber cement panels in a wood-
siding pattern and industrial block pattern.
The redevelopment and proposed use of this vacant site is appropriate and continues to
meet the need for auto-related uses in the area.
The site is in the CG – General Commercial zoning district. Drive-thru coffee shops are
subject to Planning and Zoning Board review.
Existing and Proposed Owners: M Squared LLC.
