Summary

Chick-fil-A requested a special use permit, special exceptions, and a certificate of appropriateness to modify its existing drive-through and building at 9509 Fairfax Boulevard (case nos. SU-24-00078/SE-24-00079). The proposed modifications included a building addition, a dual drive-through lane, and widening of the pick-up window lane. At its September 9, 2025 meeting, City Council held a public hearing and took action on all three motions, approving each unanimously (6-0). The special use permit was approved with three conditions, the special exceptions from transitional yard, building yard, and bulk plane requirements were approved with two conditions, and the certificate of appropriateness was approved with three conditions. Staff confirmed the approval at the October 13, 2025 Planning Commission meeting as part of a routine update on recent Council actions. The matter is fully resolved.
