FILE: 2288-P ___ STAFF REPORT Staff recommends approval with the following waiver: 1. A waiver to the landscape buffer along the north and west property lines, as well as a waiver to the screening requirement to the north. MyKeesha Sears would like to establish a frozen treat shop at 4710 Highland Avenue. Ms. Sears would like to sell frozen "cool cups," along with other snacks. The hours of operation will be from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven (7) days per week. All seating for the establishment will be provided outdoors. All business will be conducted in the drive-through or at a walk-up window. If business allows, additional space has been included for future expansion for an office and additional storage. A waiver to the landscape buffer has been requested for the north and west property lines. An eight foot fence will be constructed along the west property line, but as there is an existing fence along the north property line, therefore, the applicant is requesting a waiver to the screening requirement along this side.
