DISCUSSION:
Project Description
In October 2016, the Planning and Zoning Board approved the original 7,163 square foot restaurant, Texas Roadhouse, with seating for approximately 281 patrons. At this time, the applicant is requesting site plan approval for a 610 square foot addition to the existing restaurant for dining room expansion, bringing the total seating for patrons to 321 seats. The addition is proposed on the north side of the building adjacent to the main entrance. Renovations include both interior and exterior changes that will be complementary to the existing “western” style architecture, including stucco finish, stone veneers, and barrel roof tile finish.
Existing access on Lyons Road and Sawgrass Boulevard will remain as currently built. There will be minor changes to the restaurant parking lot, which include re-striping and removal of one (1) parking stall to be replaced with a landscape island. The site exceeds the required parking, and as such, the removal of the parking stall will not affect compliance with required parking. Pedestrian connectivity will remain unchanged.
Public Involvement
Site plan applications are not subject to site posting or public notice requirements. However, the applicant invited plaza tenants and property owners within 700 feet of the subject property to attend a meeting held on December 2, 2025, at 6:15 p.m. at the Recreation Complex - Cypress Room, 4455 Sol Press Boulevard, Coconut Creek, Florida, to present the project and provide an opportunity for questions or comments. No members of the public attended the meeting.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Board, at its January 14, 2026 meeting, recommended approval of the Site Plan application, subject to staff’s recommended condition of approval.
Based on its review, staff finds that the proposed Site Plan is in compliance with the Sawgrass Exchange PUD/PCD, meets the Site Plan Review criteria of the Land Development Code, and is consistent with the applicable goals, objectives, and policies of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Accordingly, staff recommends approval of the Site Plan application, subject to the following condition:
1. Outstanding DRC comments remain effective throughout the development review process. Any unaddressed comments are incorporated herein as conditions of approval of the final resolution and must be addressed prior to issuance of a building permit unless otherwise stated therein.
