A bank and a restaurant are set to be constructed next year.
More development is set for West Granada Boulevard, as the City Commission approved a development order on Dec. 2 allowing construction of a 12,000-foot business on the now-wooded property east of Seminole Drive and across the boulevard from Dustin’s Bar-B-Que.
The land owner is Paul F. Holub Jr., of 1301 West Granada Boulevard Investors LLC. Holub said on Dec. 1 that he has a contract with a bank, which would occupy the entire site, but he could not disclose the name of the bank at that time. Construction will probably not begin until the third quarter of 2015, he said.
The vote was the first reading and the second reading and final approval is tentatively scheduled for the commission meeting on Jan. 6.
The officials also approved rezoning the property from Low Intensity Commercial to Planned Business Development.
The developer will be coordinating sewer service and access with a development next door that has already been through the City Commission approval stages. A Zaxby’s Restaurant with a drive-through is set to be built at 1287 W. Granada Blvd. It will have 90 seats and 3,847 square feet.
The site application for the Zaxby’s location was made by Demerburn LLC, of Valdosta, Georgia, on behalf of the owner, Maurice Thompson, of Ormond Beach.
Steve Spraker, senior planner for the city, said the developer of the Zaxby’s location only needs a final site permit and a building permit and work could begin early next year.
Holub had a neighborhood meeting on Sept. 25. The development plan calls for buffers and a masonry wall between the bank and the neighborhood.
There were no neighborhood meetings for the Zaxby’s development, because no neighborhood abuts the property, according to Planning Director Richard Goss.
Holub was not required to have a Planned Business Development zoning, but he promised the nearby residents he would ask for that zoning to alleviate any concerns. The PBD district provides higher standards of land planning and site design than are available under conventional zoning categories
Goss said Holub is conscientious about the development of all of his properties.
A PBD zone is normally used in areas that are more difficult to develop.
