From Aug 14, 2023 QuikTrip letter

QuikTrip is proposing a truck stop with three “conditional uses”—heavy vehicle fueling station, liquor retail sales, and nicotine retail sales—all three of which must be approved by the City’s Zoning Hearing Examiner (ZHE).  The ZHE will hold a public hearing process and will decide whether to approve the proposed conditional uses.  

QuikTrip also must apply to the City’s Environmental Planning Commission (EPC) for approval of its proposed site plan.  The EPC will hold a public hearing and will decide whether to approve the site plan. 

ZHE and EPC decisions are appealable. 

This QuikTrip truck stop will include a convenience store and a “grab and go” restaurant.  Materials received from QuikTrip, including an explanatory letter, are attached.  QuikTrip’s website is https://www.quiktrip.com/.
