VIII.D. SKETCH PLAN REVIEWED—3210 SOUTHDALE CIRCLE(TACO BELL)
Community Development Director Presentation
Community Development Director Teague presented the sketch plan for a new Taco Bell at 3210
Southdale Circle that would require several variances including a four-foot parking variance. He described
proposed and requested setbacks, building elements, and exterior materials. Mr. Teague advised that the
size of the restaurant had been reduced so the parking stall requirement would be met. He then
presented comments of the Planning Commission, noting the menu board would be reoriented to lessen
impact to the residential area.
Proponent Presentation
Barbara Schneider, Border Foods, 965 Decatur Avenue N., Golden Valley, described the site plan changes
made in response to concerns expressed by the Planning Commission. She answered questions raised by
the Council and agreed this site was not ideal as it was somewhat undersized when compared to newer
sites. Ms. Schneider reviewed the variances that would be requested for building setback, parking lot drive
aisles, and menu board location.
Following review and discussion of the Taco Bell sketch plan, the Council offered the following direction:
inclusion of a bicycle rack and outdoor seating (if feasible); additional vegetation within green spaces
(comparable to Centennial Lakes Starbucks); permeable surfaces to accommodate stormwater; menu
board orientation toward Southdale Circle; incorporation of design relief, and, review of parking counts to
determine whether it would be an option to provide proof-of-parking to allow space for enhanced
landscaping.
