This is an application for Special Exception use approval for a proposed restaurant with drive-through to be located within the existing vacant commercial building formerly a bank use, located at 11 Weston Road, as shown on the location map in the attached Staff Report. The property is zoned B-3 (General Business District), and the underlying land use designation is Commercial on the City of Sunrise Future Land Use Map.
