City Council To Consider Taco Bell Site Plan
The Oskaloosa Planning and Zoning Commission approved a site plan for a new Taco Bell fast-food restaurant, this past week, to be located at 702 A Avenue West in Oskaloosa.
The site is 1 acre in size and is currently zoned Urban Corridor district with A Avenue overlay.
The applicant has submitted the required site plan, along with elevations and a landscape plan, for review through the city staff. The site plan illustrates a 2,298 square foot building with a drive-thru window along the east side. The proposed site will have one entrance from A Avenue and another entrance from High Avenue. New 5 foot wide sidewalk will be installed along both A Avenue and High Avenue, with additional right-of-way to be dedicated to the city along A Avenue. The proposed sidewalk on A Avenue will have a 10 foot setback from the back of the curb. The site indicates a total of 27 parking spaces, which includes 2 handicap accessible spaces. The proposed site will be connecting to existing sanitary sewer and water utilities.
The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this item at their November 10, 2014 meeting and recommended, by a vote of 7 to 0, that the city council approve the site plan as presented.
