Dunkin Donuts To Move Across Elm Street
|
The Planning & Zoning Commission on Tuesday approved plans that will allow Dunkin Donuts to move across Elm Street, to a commercial space next to The Playhouse. Currently located at 88 Elm St., Dunkins is to move to the far side of the midblock crosswalk to number 105, according to a site plan application filed with the town. The “new” Dunkin Donuts will have an updated look and more room for customers, according to James Cain, representing the applicant. “It’s basically just a nicer, upscale design,” he told members of P&Z at their regular meeting, held via videoconference. Under the New Canaan Zoning Regulations, permitted uses for properties in the Retail A Zone with site plan approval include “[r]estaurants, excluding any designed or intended in whole or in part for food service to, or consumption by, patrons in motor vehicles on the premises” (see page 73 here).
