SUMMARY: On behalf of Chick-fil-A, Inc., Escencia is requesting approval of a Site Plan for Chick-
fil-A to add two canopies over the existing drive-through on property described as Lot

The purpose of this request is to seek approval of a Site Plan to allow two
freestanding canopies over the existing drive-through lane at Chick-fil-A. The canopy
on the west side of the building is proposed to be fabric on a metal frame with a
masonry wrap on the columns to match the brick on the building. It will be used for
face to face ordering where the store employee goes outside to the vehicle to take
orders. The canopy on the east side of the building is proposed to be metal with a
masonry wrap on the columns to match the brick on the building. It will be used for
meal delivery where the store employee goes outside to deliver orders. Both canopies
will include LED lighting, heaters and fans.
