A new local coffee shop is in the works for Ormond Beach.
On Thursday, Dec. 12, the Ormond Beach Planning Board will review a request for a special exception redevelopment plan to construct a SunBros Coffee at 14 S. Yonge St.
The applicant, Dan Sundell, of SunBros Cafe in Flagler Beach, seeks to demolish the existing building and construct a 250-square-foot standing drive-thru coffee shop at the former Massey Auto Brokers property.
In order to construct the drive-thru coffee shop, Sundell needs approval of two waivers: one for landscaping requirements, and another for building wall signage standards.
Additionally, the property is nonconforming with the city’s Land Development Code standards which require a minimum lot width of 100 feet. The property spans 50 feet wide.
The Planning Board will also consider a zoning map amendment and development order request for a new 31-single-family lot subdivision, proposed for a 50-acre parcel north of West Granada Boulevard and east of Shadow Crossings Boulevard.
The development, to be known as “Little Tomoka Village” also proposes the construction of a church.
On the agenda is also an administrative application to update the city’s landscape standards in its LDC, such as native plant requirements, and a discussion of where to allow medical marijuana dispensaries. Currently, dispensaries fall under the city’s pharmacy use in zoning districts. The board will also continue its review of 2045 Comprehensive Plan Update elements.
The new Culver’s restaurant at 655 W. Granada Blvd. is now open.
The restaurant is the latest development in the 32-acre Granada Pointe project. Its building spans 4,550 square feet. An IHOP is also being constructed in the adjacent property at 675 W. Granada Blvd.
Ormond Beach’s 33rd annual Home for the Holidays parade will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14. Here’s how the parade will affect traffic.
