SUBJECT:
title
Approval of an Application for a Drive Thru Permit for a Jack in the Box Restaurant at 2307 Jefferson Street
end
BACKGROUND:
On July 2, 2025, the Department of Public Works received a formal request for a drive thru facility for a proposed Jack in the Box Restaurant to be located at 2307 Jefferson Street. The restaurant will be located on the site of the former Arby’s Restaurant and most recently Amigeaux’s Restaurant. The building will be remodeled along with other site improvements. The City’s Planning Division has reviewed the preliminary site plan and has no remaining outstanding items.
The Public Service Committee will review this matter.
CONCLUSION:
The applicant has submitted a site plan to the Department of Public Works showing the operation of the proposed drive thru. The applicant has provided signage and pavement markings for adequate traffic flow into the drive thru while maintaining sufficient drive thru storage capacity to meet the requirements of the Department of Public Works.
As required by the City of Joliet Code of Ordinances, the Department of Public Works has reviewed the drive thru facility site plan (see attachment). Access to the site will be available from an existing full access driveway on Republic Avenue and an existing full access driveway on Jefferson Street. Upon final investigation, the Department of Public Works has determined that there is sufficient storage on the site, and therefore recommends approval of the drive thru permit subject to approval of the final engineering plans.
RECOMMENDATION:
recommendation
Based on the above, it is recommended that the Mayor and City Council approve the Drive Thru Permit for a Jack in the Box Restaurant at 2307 Jefferson Street.
