- cPlanned Development Permit Application No. P24-03288 and Conditional Use Permit Application No. P23-02877
- were filed by Jay Virk of Bottom Line Development on behalf of Mark Morkos of 3122-3152 N Millbrook Ave and pertains to ±1.13 acres of property generally located on the southeast corner of East Shields and North Millbrook Avenues, at 3152 North Millbrook Avenue (APN's: 44508118). The application is a request to modify the development standards of the Fresno Municipal Code (FMC) through approval of a Planned Development Permit, to allow a drive-through ordering intercom to be located 35 feet from a residential zoned property/district, instead of 100 feet as required by the FMC, Section 15-2728-B,1. The ordering intercom is proposed inside of a partially enclosed pergola structure, utilizes an automatic volume reduction control system, includes enhanced landscaped screening features, and other structural measures to reduce sound/noise related impacts to the adjacent residential properties instead of the typically required setback for these ordering intercoms. The proposed drive through lane will be utilized by a 2,200 square-foot quick-serve restaurant tenant space within the proposed 10,000 square-foot 1-story shell building proposed under related Conditional Use Permit Application No. P23-02877. The subject property is zoned O (Office). Relative Application(s): (see instructions above to view exhibits) Project Manager: Thomas Veatch, Planner 559-621-8076 thomas.veatch@fresno.gov

Meeting disruption policy

Meetings are conducted so everyone — in the room and watching or calling in remotely — can take part. A person who disrupts a meeting in person may be removed after a warning. Under California SB 707, if a service disruption within the City’s control cuts off the public’s ability to participate remotely, the body takes no further action on agenda items and recesses for at least one hour while staff make a good-faith effort to restore access; the meeting resumes only once remote access is back.
