Dapper Development is applying for a special use permit to allow for a Carl’s Jr. within the Aliante Master Planned Community in an area that is currently zoned MPC-C-P1, Master Planned Community Profession Office Commercial District. If this zoning change request is approved to allow for a convenience food restaurant with a drive through, several changes will be made to the area near to Discovery Park. The original sales center at Aliante Parkway and Nature Discovery Park will be demolished and two new commercial parcels will be created – one for Carl Jr. with a drive through and the other for a proposed Capriotti’s Sandwich store. This change will dramatically alter the street view due to this becoming a commercialized area; the addition of proposed business signs to draw business from the 215; and the increase of traffic hazards near the park.

The following residents of Aliante do not want a drive through located across the street from our beautiful Discovery Park and pond and feel that it will negatively impact the wildlife (Ducks) and the quiet enjoyment of this amenity. We are concerned of the impact it will have on the residents who use Nature Park drive to access their communities as well as the safety of our children as we use the Park.
