Shell Building Project at Former Golden Corral Site Approved with Parking and Lighting Conditions
The Planning and Zoning Board considered a major site plan application for a shell building project at 21 West Atlantic Boulevard, formerly the Golden Corral site. The project involves a new 5,000 square foot addition and modifications to the existing shell building for future retail and restaurant uses. The site is zoned B3 within a PICO overlay district. The application faced conditions related to parking calculations, as the site might not have sufficient parking for a 100% restaurant use, requiring ongoing verification with each tenant build-out permit. Additionally, conditions were set for adjusting continuous curbing for pedestrian access and standard approval specifications. Concerns were raised about the overall darkness of the corridor and potential issues with the unhoused population, to which staff committed to reviewing lighting plans and ensuring compliance. The board approved the major site plan with three conditions.
