The Oswego Planning and Zoning Commission Thursday night will review a request to annex and rezone property near Route 34 and Ogden Falls Boulevard for a project that would include a Dutch Bros drive-thru coffee shop.

Quattro Development LLC is seeking annexation and rezoning for two parcels located on the south side of Route 34 just east of the intersection for a Dutch Bros Coffee and a commercial building.

The site is currently vacant and in unincorporated Kendall County.

Roughly one-third of the site, located furthest west, was annexed into the village in 1988 and is zoned as a B-1 Regional Business District, village officials said.

“The petitioner seeks to annex the remaining two parcels,” Village of Oswego Planner Jeff Lind said in a report to the commission.

Property annexed to the village is automatically classified with a single-family residential zoning. However, the developer has petitioned the village to rezone the two parcels to the B-1 Regional Business District designation, which is consistent with the village’s comprehensive plan, Lind said.

“The proposed site plan depicts two newly-subdivided lots,” Lind said.

The furthest west lot is about one acre and would be the first lot to get developed. It is proposed that the Dutch Bros Coffee shop would go on that site, he said.

“A 989-square-foot drive-thru-only Dutch Bros Coffee sits near the middle of the site,” Lind said of the proposal. “The building is surrounded by a cement sidewalk, which, on the west side of the building, spans wide enough to accommodate a walk-up window and outdoor seating.”

Dutch Bros started as a pushcart coffee operation in downtown Grants Pass, Oregon, in 1992, according to the company’s website. Franchising began in Oregon in 2000 and the company now has more than 1,000 locations across the country selling coffee, smoothies, energy drinks and sodas.

The second lot in the proposal is also about one acre and the site plan shows a future 2,371-square-foot commercial building. However, the developer does not have plans to develop the second lot right now and there is no known use for the time being, Lind said.

Staff has recommended the developer remove the site plans for the second lot to allow for more flexibility for an eventual owner.
