AI Summary

The Development Review Committee unanimously granted conditional approval for two related applications on February 24, 2026: a site plan and special exception use to convert a 497-square-foot former drive-through bank into a Dunkin restaurant with drive-through service at 5300 Coconut Creek Parkway. The committee required revisions including compliance with the city's 6-foot sign height limit and 25% electronic messaging rule, revised traffic drawings showing clearer driveway access to State Road 7, addition of 'No Parking' signs in the former ATM area, and landscaping modifications to avoid overhead utilities. The applicant must file a separate sign waiver application and submit all revisions before advancing to the Planning and Zoning Board hearing on April 7, 2026, and the City Commission hearing in early May 2026.
