A. Background/Options
The applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow an eating establishment with a drive-through at 151 N. Mayfair Road, located within the General Commercial and Mayfair Overlay (C2/MAY) zoning districts.
The site was previously occupied by Starbucks, which vacated the property in 2025. The applicant proposes to occupy the existing building with a Dunkin' restaurant. The existing site layout, including the drive-through lane and parking area, will remain unchanged. The proposed improvements include modifications to the interior floor plan, installation of new signage, and potential updates to the building's exterior to reflect the new tenant's branding. The proposed hours of operation are 4:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Monday through Sunday.
The required public hearing for this request was held before the Common Council on June 23, 2026. No members of the public appeared or spoke in favor of or in opposition to the request.
