Public hearing tomorrow in Danbury on proposed Chipotle location

The Danbury Planning Commission will hold a public hearing at their meeting tomorrow for a proposed Chipotle restaurant on Sugar Hollow Road.  The fast food restaurant with drive-thru use and a medical office would generate over 500 vehicle trips per day at the site of the former Pier 1 Imports.  To access the site, the applicant is proposing to use the existing two-way driveway on Sugar Hollow Road.  The existing driveway on Backus Avenue would be closed.  The plans show that the drive-through for the fast food restaurant has been designed to ensure all queuing occurs within the parking lot. Additionally, the site plan notes the drive-through lane only accommodates mobile pick-up orders and an order window is not provided.  Site improvements include the redesign of the parking lot, associated grading, landscaping, the installation of a storm drainage system, and the construction of a concrete sidewalk and driveway apron.  The Zoom meeting tomorrow is at 7:30pm.
