Jack-in-the-Box proposal discussed

 

Representatives of Curt Pringle & Associates presented project details for a proposed Jack-in-the-Box restaurant to members of the Buellton City Planning Commission during its Jan. 17 meeting.

Curt Pringle Vice President Peter Whittingham, representing Steve Lykken, owner of Steve’s Wheel & Tire and property owner of the proposed project, gave the presentation. Commissioners also heard details from Planning Director Marc Bierdzinski. The project, to be at 250 E. Highway 246 in Buellton, will be set back enough for a drive-through. Whittingham said the current structure will be demolished and a new 2,454- square-foot restaurant will be built.

 

The staff still needs to determine traffic issues and entry details, Bierdzinski added. A traffic study will be conducted by Associated Transportation Engineers. Still under review by staff, the project needs a conditional use permit from the commission. The site is zoned General Commercial.

Commissioner Greg Scaduto said the trash bin at the front of the building should be moved to the back. Commissioner Craig Adams commented on the signage, which should be similar to Burger King’s signs, he said. The next meeting will be Feb. 7 in City Council Chambers, 140 W. Highway 246, at 6 p.m.
