Drive-thru coffee shop landscape buffer variance (1850 S. Woodland Blvd)
Summary
A new drive-thru coffee shop is planned for the corner of South Woodland and Cliff Street, but the lot can't fit the required 30-foot landscaping buffers. The variance would let the buffers shrink to 14 and 19 feet, changing how much green screening neighbors and drivers see at a busy Gateway Corridor corner.

Impact analysis
No direct cost to the city; it affects the developer's buildable footprint and landscaping.
The coffee shop owner gets a buildable site plan that would otherwise fail the landscaping code.
Neighbors and gateway corridor standards see slightly less visual screening, though staff noted nearby lots qualify for similar reductions.
