Avondale approves new Dutch Bros. location
IN THE BIZ
During Avondale’s City Council meeting on July 5, council unanimously voted to approve a new Dutch Bros. location. The development plan calls for the proposed 1,093-square-foot drive-thru coffee shop to be built on 1.08 acres at the southwest corner of Dale Earnhardt Drive and 114th Avenue in the BLVD Park Avenue District. “I’m so glad to see that this business is coming to Avondale,” Councilmember Bryan Kilgore said during the city council meeting. “Good job to everybody involved. Getting this thing coming to our city is really good to see.” Only one standalone drive-thru use is permitted within the BLVD’s Park Avenue District; however, the approved Dutch Bros. will exhaust this allowance. The drive-thru will feature two lanes Public Notices ............... page 2 © Copyright, 2021 West Valley View, Inc.
that will wrap around the north, west and south sides of the coffee shop building, with room for up to 27 vehicles. A traffic impact analysis was completed, which found that the proposed access and queuing to function adequate with no vehicle backup anticipated outside of the designated drive-thru lanes. The location will also feature an 850-square-foot covered patio located north of the proposed building. A restroom will also be on-site for customers. The building itself will be accessible only to Dutch Bros. employees. Similar to other Dutch Bros. locations across the Valley, there will be a pickup window where customers can place their orders. The window will be on the north side of the building, adjacent to the patio area. Under a 75-foot-long pedestrian shade canopy will be bench seating and decorative pavement. A metal shade will be provided along the project’s 114th Avenue frontage, and a similarly styled 50-foot-long drive-thru canopy (USPS 004-616) is published weekly

is provided along the site’s Avondale Boulevard frontage. Twenty-five on-site parking spaces will be on the east and south sides of the proposed coffee shop building. Existing on-street angled parking spaces on 114th Avenue will also be available in the event that all on-site parking spaces are in use. Councilmember Tina Conde noted in the meeting that the coffee shop will attract people to the city, allowing them to experience other places in Avondale. “I think Dutch Bros. is going to be a great anchor there in the boulevard to bring people in, to kind of bring awareness of what’s happening over there,” she said.
