Project overview
A closer look at a proposal moving through Boca Raton’s public review process.
Request for a site plan amendment to construct a new 2,211-square-foot drive-through restaurant (Taco Bell) in place of the recently demolished Checkers. The request includes a proposal to gate access to Yamato Road, which will serve as an egress point for emergency vehicles only. Concurrently, the applicant is requesting approval of a variance from Section 28-745, Code of Ordinances, as the proposed square footage will be less than the required 4,000 square feet in the Motel-Business (R-B-1) Zoning District.
