Chick-fil-A On the Bypass
Several attendees had a lively discussion regarding the proposal to build a drive-thru Chick-fil-A restaurant "on the Bypass" (actually at the northeast corner of the Bypass and Newtown-Yardley Rd diagonally across from the soon-to-be built Wawa).

The proposed restaurant with drive-thru will require a use variance for the inclusion of a drive-thru service; dimensional variances for setbacks, drive aisle width and to allow the use within 300ft. of Newtown-Yardley Road and Newtown Bypass; and relief to allow additional signage on the property; and to allow a sign to face the Bypass.
